That name alone raises questions that the archaeology cannot fully answer, but the physical remains are modest and precise: a roughly circular foundation between four and four point three metres in diameter, surviving to a height of about one point one metres, with what appears to be a wall cupboard, a small recess built into the thickness of the wall itself, of the kind sometimes used for storage or to hold a lamp.

Circular stone hut foundations of this type are found across the Dingle Peninsula and are generally associated with early medieval settlement, though dating individual examples without excavation is difficult. They are the traces of a vernacular building tradition in which dry-stone or mortared rubble walls enclosed a single domestic space, roofed in organic material that has long since vanished. The detail of the possible wall cupboard is the kind of small domestic touch that lifts a site above the generic; it suggests a space that was arranged and lived in, not merely sheltered under. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, a comprehensive catalogue of the extraordinary concentration of monuments that the Dingle Peninsula carries within a relatively compact area of west Kerry.
