There are four roughly-built sheep-pens and shelters here, but the two circular corbelled drystone huts are the more arresting feature. Corbelled construction is an ancient technique in which courses of flat stones are laid so that each projects slightly inward over the one below, eventually closing to form a domed roof without mortar or timber. It is a method that appears all across the Dingle Peninsula, but the particular arrangement at Baile Na Bhfionnúrach, with its enclosed yards, interior niches, and a partly subterranean chamber, suggests a complexity of use that goes beyond simple pastoral shelter.

The two huts differ markedly from one another. The easternmost is the smaller of the pair, measuring 2.25 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height, with a wall thickness of 2.85 metres and a modest rectangular enclosure abutting its south-east side. A single wall niche is cut into its interior. The second hut is larger, at 4.5 metres in diameter, and entered through a lintelled doorway on the west-south-west side that leads into a rectangular yard of roughly 9.1 by 5.5 metres, thought to be a later addition. Six wall niches line its interior, and opposite the entrance is a chamber of around 2 metres in length, partly built into the thickness of the hut wall and partly extending beneath the ground outside. The ruins of two further possible structures abut the north-west side of this hut, suggesting the complex grew incrementally over time. The site was recorded and described by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a landmark regional study published by Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne in Ballyferriter.
