What makes the site unusual is less its age than its completeness: two conjoined stone hut sites and a well-preserved souterrain, all enclosed within the fragmentary traces of what may once have been a cashel wall, that is, a roughly circular dry-stone enclosure of the kind commonly built around early Irish settlements and farmsteads.

The two huts lie in a rough north-south line, about five metres east-south-east of the souterrain entrance. The southern hut is a circular depression some 5.4 metres across and roughly 0.8 metres deep, edged by a low stony bank; its entrance appears to have been on the west side, where the bank simply disappears. The northern hut is slightly larger and oval in plan, its hollow cut up to 1.25 metres into the slope and lined with dry-stone walling. The souterrain, a type of underground stone-built passage associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland and often interpreted as a place of refuge or cool storage, is L-shaped in plan. It comprises an entrance passage, a narrow creepway barely 0.4 metres wide at its tightest point, and a small oval chamber measuring roughly 2.5 by 1.55 metres. The chamber walls combine upright slabs with dry-stone courses corbelled inward at the top to carry five roofing slabs, laid in a slight fan arrangement stepping down from south-west to north-east. One of those roof slabs has since collapsed inward, which now offers the most practical way into the chamber. The full description of the site, including precise measurements of each section of the passage and the creepway's lintels, was recorded by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey, published under the Irish title Corca Dhuibhne by Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne in Ballyferriter.
