Corbelled construction is one of the oldest building techniques in Ireland, using carefully overlapping dry stones that lean inward course by course until they close at the top without mortar or any kind of binding agent. That these three structures survive at all, attached to a field boundary that predates any reliable record, is itself a small puzzle.

The three vary enough in scale and condition to suggest different functions or different periods of use. The smallest, roughly 2.2 metres in diameter and about 1.5 metres high with walls over a metre thick, is a sub-circular hut, tight and low. The second sits inside a small irregularly shaped enclosure measuring around 4 by 4 metres, which also contains what may be the remains of a sheep shelter, so the cluster here feels domestic and agricultural at once. The largest of the three has a diameter of nearly 3.8 metres, though its surviving height is only 0.7 metres, and its walls are at least 1.4 metres thick; there is a possible wall chamber within it, and a mound of loose stones outside may mark the ghost of a fourth structure entirely. The whole group was recorded by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a detailed fieldwork project that catalogued the extraordinary density of early remains across this part of west Kerry.
