Known collectively as Clochán na mBardán, none of the buildings stands higher than about one and a half metres, and at least three appear to have been repurposed over the centuries as simple sheep-shelters. The remainder are thought to be early hut sites, though their ruinous condition makes confident interpretation difficult.

The best-preserved structure is a circular building roughly 3.6 metres in diameter, with walls still standing to 1.5 metres and about a metre thick. It has been absorbed into a later sheep-fold, which has both protected and obscured it. More intriguingly, it apparently contains a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage or chamber of the kind commonly associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, often interpreted as a place of storage, refuge, or concealment. R. A. S. Macalister noted the site as early as 1899, and it was surveyed more fully as part of Judith Cuppage's comprehensive Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey published in 1986. The Irish name, Clochán na mBardán, suggests a connection with small stone buildings of the beehive type found elsewhere on the peninsula, though the structures here are too degraded to tell a complete story.
