What remains at this site amounts to vague traces of foundations, the kind of faint disturbance in the ground that most walkers would pass without a second glance. Yet those traces may be all that survives of a clochán, a small dry-stone corbelled hut of the sort associated with early Christian monks and hermits, built without mortar by stacking stones so that each course slightly overhangs the last until the walls close into a beehive dome.

The structure was recorded by R. A. S. Macalister in 1899, at which point it was already described as dilapidated. By the time the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey was compiled by J. Cuppage in 1986, even the ruin had largely dissolved back into the hillside, leaving only those ambiguous foundation traces. The Dingle Peninsula has a notable concentration of early ecclesiastical remains, and clocháns of this kind were once relatively common across the region, though most have fared no better than this one. What Macalister saw was already a shadow of a building; what exists now is barely a shadow of what he saw.
