They are dry-stone hut sites, built without mortar from stacked stone, and their arrangement is quietly puzzling. Despite their proximity, each appears to have had its own separate entrance, suggesting they were not a single roofed space but three distinct, if intimately related, shelters.

The cluster was identified and described by John Loesberg, who noted the graduated scale of the structures alongside the possible presence of walls and pens or sheepfolds nearby. The largest hut measures approximately 4.4 by 2 metres, the middle one around 2.8 by 2.5 metres, and the smallest just 2 by 1.7 metres, barely large enough for one person to lie down. Whether these were used for seasonal sheltering of animals, temporary human habitation during grazing seasons, or some combination of the two is not recorded, but the association with possible sheepfolds points toward the kind of transhumance, the seasonal movement of livestock to upland pasture, that was once common across Ireland and left scattered evidence across many hillsides. The steeply stepped arrangement of the huts is not a design choice so much as a pragmatic response to terrain that offered no flat ground to work with.
