They are easy to overlook: the walls rise only about 0.6 metres, the stonework blends with the surrounding outcrop, and much of what once surrounded them has long since sunk into boggy pasture. But the arrangement is quietly unusual. Two roughly circular enclosures, one 7.8 metres in diameter and one 5 metres across, are built against each other without any passage connecting them. The smaller northern structure has its own independent entrance, 1.5 metres wide, opening to the east. Where the builders needed foundations, they incorporated sections of natural rock outcrop directly into the drystone construction, a practical economy that also binds the structures firmly to the landscape.

A short distance to the north, an early field wall runs for around 50 metres before disappearing under the waterlogged ground. This is the feature catalogued as the field boundary proper, and it points toward a period of organised land use in this valley that long predates anything in the written record. Drystone construction of this kind, using no mortar and relying instead on the careful selection and placement of stones, was practised across Ireland from prehistoric times well into the medieval period, which makes precise dating difficult without excavation. What the combination of the circular structures and the submerged field wall suggests is a small agricultural settlement, possibly a farmstead, making deliberate use of a sheltered ledge in an otherwise demanding mountain environment. A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan documented the site in their 1996 archaeological survey of South Kerry, published by Cork University Press, and it remains one of many such sites on the Iveragh Peninsula that receive little attention compared to the more prominent monuments of the region.
