What makes the site quietly peculiar is that one of the pair has been partially lost to a modern rectangular structure built directly on top of it, leaving only the eastern hut relatively intact. That surviving hut measures approximately 4.38 metres in internal diameter, while its western companion may have reached around 5 metres across before whatever building replaced part of it.

Conjoined circular huts of this kind, sometimes called clocháns when built in dry-stone corbelling, are a recurring feature of the Dingle Peninsula's upland archaeology, associated broadly with early medieval occupation and possibly with seasonal pastoral farming practices. The pairing of two such structures suggests either a domestic arrangement or a working compound where one space served a different function from the other, though the surviving remains are too reduced to say with confidence. The site was recorded by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey, a thorough catalogue of the peninsula's extraordinary density of field monuments, and it sits within a landscape that holds an unusual concentration of early Christian and prehistoric remains compressed into a relatively small coastal territory.
