Among them, though, are two or possibly three conjoined clocháns, the beehive-shaped stone cells built without mortar using the corbelling technique, where each course of flat stones is laid slightly inward until the courses meet at the top. These particular examples are small and close; the two definite structures measure roughly 2.92 metres and 3.45 metres in diameter, standing just 1.44 metres high, and are connected by a lintelled passage. The larger, northern hut has an eastward entrance that opens either to the outside or to the possible third cell. The remaining huts in the group are more fragmentary: one is sub-rectangular and considerably larger at 9.8 by 6 metres, others are circular foundations or oval hollows edged by low banks on their downhill sides.

The full group was recorded as part of the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey compiled by J. Cuppage and published in 1986 by Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne in Ballyferriter, a comprehensive survey of prehistoric and early medieval remains across the Dingle Peninsula. Clocháns of this type are associated with early Christian monastic and hermitic activity in Ireland, and the Blasket archipelago, exposed and wind-scoured as it is, attracted exactly that kind of austere occupation. The fact that three of the huts are conjoined suggests deliberate communal use rather than isolated shelter, though the date of their construction is not precisely established. The variety of forms across the seven sites, corbelled stone cells alongside simpler earthen hollows, may point to successive or overlapping periods of use, or simply to different functions within the same settlement.
