The National Monuments Service's description

In blanket bog on the SE slope of Diamond Hill, on the N bank of Sruffaunloughaunnavcagh, a small stream that flows into the Polladirk River to the E. This small rectangular structure (int. dims. 1.8m E-W; 1.2m N-S) is heavily obscured by heather, grasses and internal collapse. It is best preserved on the N side (int. H 0.7m). A gap is evident in the S side. A possible booley hut (GA023-061----) lies c. 30m to the NE.
