The arrangement is quietly deliberate, a cluster of buildings that once shared a boundary, suggesting a working relationship between them rather than isolated accidents of survival.

The best-documented of the three is a corbelled hut, sub-circular in plan and built entirely from drystone. Corbelling is an ancient construction technique in which each course of stone is laid so that it projects slightly inward over the one below, gradually closing the roof without the need for mortar or timber; the result is a self-supporting stone dome. This particular example is modest in scale, roughly 2.2 metres in diameter, 1.5 metres high, and with walls about 1.2 metres thick, walls that are nearly as wide as the interior is tall. That proportion is part of what keeps such structures standing for centuries. The description comes from J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, a thorough catalogue of the Dingle Peninsula's extraordinary concentration of early monuments.
