Known locally as Púicín na bhFothrach, these are clochans, the beehive-shaped dry-stone huts built without mortar whose corbelled walls curve inward course by course until they close at the top. There were once seven of them here. Four were dismantled, their carefully fitted stones reused to build the high enclosing wall of a field or garden. The remaining three were not demolished but incorporated, becoming part of the very structure their own materials helped to create.

The site was noted by the scholar R. A. S. Macalister in 1899, who recorded the five-sided plan of one of the structures, an unusual form among clochans, which are more typically circular or oval. The largest of the group was apparently still inhabited around 1847, placing its last domestic use squarely in the Famine years, a detail that gives the site a particular weight. That structure survives in the north wall of the field as an oval chamber measuring roughly three metres by one and a half, standing to about one and a half metres in height, and it retains a lintelled wall-cupboard inside, a small recess formed by a horizontal stone across its opening. The second clochan, tucked into the north-east corner of the field, is almost entirely buried under collapse and field-clearance debris, its pentagonal outline now barely traceable. The third has lost its interior entirely and survives only as a solid, buttress-like mass against the east wall, two and a half metres high, with no opening remaining.
