They are circular, built without mortar, and pressed so close together that they share a wall, yet there is no passage connecting them. Whoever used these huts moved between them by stepping outside. That detail alone raises quiet questions about how they functioned and who, exactly, was spending time up here.

The structures are drystone construction, meaning the walls were built by carefully stacking and fitting stone without any binding material, a technique used across Ireland and the wider Atlantic fringe from prehistoric times well into the early medieval period and beyond. Each hut is roughly three metres in diameter, with walls surviving to around one and a half metres in height and nearly two metres thick. That wall thickness, substantial relative to the interior space, would have made them solid and weather-resistant, suited to a mountain environment where conditions can shift quickly. They were recorded as part of the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, compiled by J. Cuppage, a thorough inventory of a peninsula that turns out to be extraordinarily dense with early remains.
