They are easy to miss, and that is partly what makes them worth pausing over. What survives here is the outline of a sub-oval hut, its walls still standing to around 1.1 metres with a thickness of 1.2 metres, the interior space measuring just 2.5 by 1.9 metres. Attached to its eastern side is a second, slightly larger enclosure or hut, roughly 3 by 2.3 metres across. Together they amount to a very small domestic footprint, the kind of arrangement associated with seasonal or temporary occupation in marginal upland terrain.

The site was recorded as part of the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey, published in 1986 under the direction of J. Cuppage. That survey catalogued the remarkable concentration of prehistoric and early medieval remains across the Dingle Peninsula, a landscape where the pressure of modern development was historically light enough to leave an unusual number of early structures intact or partially so. Sub-oval stone huts of this type, built without mortar and relying on the mass of dry-laid fieldstone for stability, appear at various points across the peninsula, often in locations that would have been used for summer grazing, a practice known in Irish as booleying. The small interior dimensions here suggest a shelter rather than a permanent dwelling, a place to sleep close to livestock on high ground during the warmer months.
