They are small, each roughly 3.5 metres across internally, and the low banks that once defined their walls have subsided to no more than 60 centimetres above the surrounding ground. Yet their outlines remain legible, two adjoining circles pressed into the hillside like a faint thumbprint from the early medieval period.

The site is one of four univallate raths clustered together on the same eastern flank of Corrin Hill, which rises to around 334 metres above the Dingle Peninsula. A univallate rath is a type of enclosed farmstead defined by a single surrounding bank and ditch, the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland. This particular example sits roughly 300 to 400 metres west of a small tributary of the Finglas river. The conjoined huts occupy the south-western sector of the enclosure and each has its own entrance gap facing east, a common orientation in Irish vernacular building that placed the opening away from the prevailing westerly weather. The fact that no passage connected the two interiors is quietly puzzling; whether they housed people, animals, or some combination of both remains an open question. The group of four raths in such close proximity suggests a community of some density here, making use of the sheltered hillside above the river drainage.
