These simple structures, the remnants of circular or oval stone-walled shelters used by farmers, herders, or seasonal workers across many centuries, are surprisingly common in the Irish uplands, yet each one represents a particular moment of habitation, a person or a family making temporary or permanent use of marginal ground.

The townland name Garraun More derives from the Irish, likely relating to a rough or scrubby place, which gives some sense of the terrain. Kerry's uplands are thick with archaeological traces of this kind, from Bronze Age hut circles to the booley huts associated with transhumance, the seasonal practice of moving livestock to higher summer pastures. Without more specific detail about this particular site, it is difficult to say which period or purpose it belonged to, but its presence in the record places it among a broader pattern of human use of Kerry's interior landscapes that stretches back thousands of years.
