What makes the hut site at Teeromoyle quietly arresting is how this internal terracing was achieved: the builders incorporated exceptionally large boulders along the base of the dividing wall, a practical solution to the slope but also one that gives the structure an almost deliberate, architectural quality at odds with its modest scale.

The upper, south-western level preserves three large upright slabs, each roughly half a metre tall and three-quarters of a metre wide, arranged to form a right angle. Alongside them stand the remains of two adjoining rectangular structures, their roughly coursed walls surviving only one or two courses high and averaging about ninety centimetres in width. The internal dimensions of these structures measure approximately 2.9 metres by 2.8 metres, compact spaces that would have served as sheltered enclosures of some kind, whether for habitation, animal husbandry, or seasonal use. A drystone revetment, to clarify the term, is a retaining wall of unmortered stone built to hold back earth or to create a level terrace on a slope. At Teeromoyle, this technique does the work of levelling a site that would otherwise be too uneven to use. The site is documented in the archaeological survey of the Iveragh Peninsula compiled by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan and published by Cork University Press in 1996, a volume that remains one of the more thorough records of Kerry's lesser-known ancient structures.
