The hut is strongly built using large pieces of granite to construct an inner and outer wall, containing a robust stone bank. Vestiges of the wall survive in places on the exterior, plus a few isolated boulders of the interior are visible. The interior diameter was approximately between 7 and 8 metres, with the walls standing up to 1 metre high.
