What is recorded here
No amount of thinking can invent a new fact about Derreenboy Upper. The available description contains a D-shaped enclosure, an internal division, dry-stone walls, a shallow slope position and no obvious entrance. I can write that as a clear factual paragraph, but I would not claim to know whether it was a hut, a shelter, a boundary marker or a misread feature without evidence.
3m east of field boundary (CO104-053----) is a small D-shaped enclosure with an internal division. It is partially dug into the slope and measures internally c. 5m SE-NW and c. 3m SW-NE. An internal division divides it into two unequal parts. The walls are dry-stone walling c 0.6m W with a max. H of 0.4m. There is no obvious entrance.
