What makes this pair quietly remarkable is not just their construction but the degree of detail preserved in them: a small wall niche, a flagged entrance, a lintelled passage connecting the two structures, and, opening off the western side of the southern hut, an underground passage and chamber built entirely of drystone.

That underground element is a souterrain, a type of man-made subterranean passage found across early medieval Ireland, typically associated with settlement sites and thought to have served for storage, refuge, or both. This one takes an L-shaped course, beginning as a low, narrow opening just 0.7 metres wide and 0.35 metres high, then extending southward for roughly 1.2 metres before turning southeast. As the floor slopes gradually downward, the passage gains height, reaching 1.1 metres where it opens into a chamber measuring 2.2 metres long and just over a metre wide. A small recess cut into the southern wall of the passage sits about 0.3 metres above the present floor level. The southern hut also has its own independent flagged entrance at the northwest, in addition to the lintelled passage linking it to its neighbour. These are the kinds of specific, considered details that suggest a place designed for use over time, not merely a temporary shelter. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey covering the Corca Dhuibhne area.
