The structure is modest by any measure, its internal floor space roughly 4.5 metres by 3.25 metres, and its wall has weathered down to no more than 75 centimetres in height. What makes it quietly interesting is not its scale but its ambiguity: the categorisation as a hut site may simply be wrong.

The foundation is oval in plan, with possible entrance gaps identified at both the south-east and north-west. That pairing of opposed openings is the detail that complicates the obvious interpretation. A dwelling might reasonably have a single entrance oriented away from prevailing weather, but two gaps on opposite sides of a small enclosure suggests the structure could instead have functioned as an animal-fold, a low-walled enclosure used to pen livestock rather than shelter people. Such enclosures are not unusual in the archaeology of this part of Kerry, a peninsula with a dense and layered record of early settlement and land use. The structure was documented as part of the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, published by J. Cuppage in 1986, which catalogued the remarkable concentration of prehistoric and early medieval remains across this stretch of the southwest Irish coastline.
