It is an arrangement that suggests something deliberate about the relationship between the two spaces, though exactly what that relationship was, and who used it, remains open.

The larger of the two huts, the north-easterly one, measures roughly 5.5 metres in diameter and stands to about 1.3 metres, with walls around 1.2 metres thick. It has its own entrance to the east and two internal wall recesses, one of which may connect to a souterrain, an underground passage or chamber of the kind commonly built in early medieval Ireland for storage or refuge. The smaller south-westerly hut is 3.5 metres across, with walls a metre thick, and is entered from the north-east, meaning access runs through the first hut entirely. The terrain around them is rough and rocky, and the site looks out over low, wet ground. J. Cuppage documented the pair in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a region unusually dense with early remains, from standing stones and ogham-inscribed pillars to promontory forts and beehive-shaped clochans. These huts fit quietly into that longer pattern of settlement, occupation, and whatever it was people needed to keep hidden underground.
