That ambiguity is part of what makes them quietly interesting.

The two structures stand roughly six metres apart. The more northerly of the pair is rectangular, measuring about 4.4 metres by 3 metres internally, with drystone walls, a building technique that uses stone without mortar, running to around a metre in thickness. The walls now survive to a maximum height of only 45 centimetres, largely tumbled, but enough remains to show that the interior was divided into two sections by a cross-wall running north to south, giving the impression of a two-roomed house. The second structure is considerably smaller and roughly D-shaped in outline, just 2.2 metres by 1.7 metres internally, with only two courses of rough drystone walling still in place. Both may be of relatively recent origin rather than early medieval or prehistoric date. The description recorded by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula suggests these are modest, functional shelters rather than monuments of great antiquity, though their precise date remains uncertain. What is clear is that at some point, someone chose this particular shoulder of hillside, gathered stone, and built walls against the valley wind.
