What remains is a clochan, the term for a dry-stone corbelled hut of early medieval origin, typically beehive-shaped and built without mortar. This one has an estimated diameter of around three metres, which would have made it a modest but functional shelter, and it has almost completely collapsed.

The structure was recorded as part of the Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey published by J. Cuppage in 1986, a systematic effort to document the remarkable density of early Christian and prehistoric remains across the Corca Dhuibhne region. The Dingle Peninsula holds an unusual concentration of clochans, many associated with early monastic activity or pastoral land use, and their distribution across these slopes reflects centuries of small-scale settlement in terrain that can feel remote even now. What makes this particular example quietly curious is not what it once was, but what it has become: a fragment folded into a later field wall, its stones reused or simply incorporated as the surrounding landscape was gradually organised for agriculture. The Ordnance Survey maps marked it, which is how it entered the formal record, but by the time it was surveyed in the late twentieth century, the structure itself had largely given way.
