They are easy to miss, and the hillside setting makes them feel less like a dwelling and more like something the landscape accidentally preserved. What makes the pair quietly interesting is the difference between them: one was built using corbelling, a technique in which courses of stone are laid so that each slightly overhangs the one below, gradually closing toward a roof without any timber or mortar, while the other was not.

The north-eastern hut retains walls standing to around 1.6 metres, with a thickness of roughly 1.2 metres, and inside there is what appears to be a wall-cupboard, a small recess built directly into the stonework. The south-western hut is larger in diameter at 3.7 metres and stands to 2 metres, and though it lacks any sign of corbelling, it too has a small wall-cupboard set into the wall. The two huts are conjoined, sharing a structural relationship that suggests they were built as a unit, or at least used together. Their precise date is not recorded, but corbelled drystone structures of this kind appear throughout the Dingle Peninsula, a landscape where early Christian and medieval communities made extensive use of the local stone. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a landmark regional study that catalogued the extraordinary density of ancient remains across this part of west Kerry.
