The enclosure itself measures roughly 7.8 by 7.4 metres internally, and the huts open onto its northeast and southwest corners respectively, giving the whole structure an organised, purposeful character that sets it apart from a simple shelter thrown up against the weather.

Both huts are corbelled and built from drystone, meaning their roofs were formed by laying stones in gradually overlapping courses until the gap closed at the top, with no mortar holding any of it together. One is sub-rectangular in plan, measuring about 2.6 by 2.3 metres and standing 1.55 metres high; the other is roughly oval, slightly larger at 3.4 by 3.1 metres and rising to 2.3 metres. Structures like these appear across the Dingle Peninsula and the broader Corca Dhuibhne landscape, where the tradition of corbelled building stretches back to early medieval monastic and pastoral activity. Whether these particular huts served as shelters for seasonal herders, as a remote religious retreat, or as something else entirely is not recorded. What is recorded, through the Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey published by J. Cuppage in 1986, is the physical arrangement itself, sitting in rough mountain terrain as it has for an unknown span of time.
