The most arresting of the group are three conjoined clocháns, the beehive-shaped stone cells built without mortar using a corbelling technique, where each course of stones is laid slightly inward until the walls meet overhead. Two of these are confirmed structures, circular in plan, with internal diameters of roughly 2.92 metres and 3.45 metres, and still standing to a height of 1.44 metres. A lintelled passage connects them, and the larger northern hut retains an east-facing entrance that may have once opened to a third adjoining cell. What is quietly remarkable here is not just the survival of these structures but the complexity of their arrangement: this is not a single hermit's cell but something more organised, more deliberate.

The remaining four huts in the group vary in form. Some are simple circular foundations about three metres across, while others are sub-rectangular or oval hollows defined by low stony banks along their downhill edges, a practical response to building on sloping ground. The full group was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, published by Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne in Ballyferriter. The island, known in Irish as An Blascaod Mór, was inhabited continuously until 1953, when the last remaining islanders were evacuated to the mainland, but structures like these clocháns belong to a far earlier period of settlement, likely early medieval, associated with the monastic and pastoral use of Atlantic islands along this coast.
