The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in level pasture 35m to the SE of a rath (SL011-090001-) and incorporated into the SE side of a relic field system (SL011-090007-) associated with the rath. Slightly raised rectangular area (L 5m NE-SW; Wth 4m NW-SE) enclosed by a line of large roughly rectangular boulders (L 0.8m; Wth 0.7m; H 0.4-0.5m) laid as wall footings. The SW end of the NW wall is defined by a stretch (L 1.5m) of earth and stone bank (Wth 1.6m; H 0.4m) associated with the nearby field system. A break in the line of boulders (1.6m) midway along the NW side marks the original entrance. This hut is abutted by elements of the field system (SL011-090007-); on the NW side is a raised rectangular field and the W side is a semi-circular field.
