This is not a single dwelling in the conventional sense but a conjoined drystone hut, a type of paired structure built without mortar, its two chambers connected by a lintelled passage, meaning one roofed with a flat stone laid across the top, that has long since been blocked. The western hut is sub-circular in plan, a roughly oval shape rather than a true circle, with an entrance just 0.7 metres wide facing west. The eastern hut is slightly smaller internally. Both are now filled with the rubble of their own collapse.

The site sits within the townland of Baile na bhFionnúrach, in the upland landscape studied by archaeologist F. Coyne in a 2006 survey titled 'Islands in the clouds', produced for Kerry County Council in association with Aegis Archaeology, which examined the archaeological record of Mount Brandon and the Paps. That broader landscape is one of the more intensively surveyed upland areas in Ireland, where early medieval hermitages, field systems, and temporary shelters for those tending livestock on summer pasture all leave traces in the peat and stone. A conjoined hut of this kind, compact and carefully built even in ruin, fits into a pattern of small-scale occupation that does not announce itself loudly but repays careful attention from anyone willing to read collapsed stonework as a kind of slow record.
