Today what remains of the more northerly of the two is largely a low mound of collapsed stonework, the structure having subsided into itself over the centuries. The southern hut fares only marginally better. Together they represent a type of corbelled or dry-stone dwelling found across the Corca Dhuibhne landscape, simple circular or oval shelters built without mortar, relying entirely on the careful stacking of local stone.

The northerly hut, the one most thoroughly reduced, measured roughly 2.85 metres in diameter, with walls that once stood around 1.6 metres high and were approximately 1.3 metres thick at the base, dimensions that give a sense of just how solid and deliberate these small structures were, even if modest in scale. They sit about fifty metres east of a related archaeological site on the same stretch of ground. J. Cuppage documented the pair as part of the 1986 Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey, a thorough catalogue of the extraordinary concentration of early remains across this corner of County Kerry, a region that contains one of the densest accumulations of early medieval and prehistoric field monuments in Ireland.
