At Baile Ristín, the very ruined remains of two possible hut sites sit roughly 80 metres apart, their original form now so degraded that even their identification as huts carries a degree of uncertainty. That tentativeness is itself telling. These are not monuments that announce themselves.

The structures were catalogued as part of a comprehensive archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, the Dingle Peninsula, published in 1986 by J. Cuppage. The survey, which covered the Ballyferriter area in particular, placed these remains approximately 200 metres south-west of another recorded site nearby. Hut sites of this kind, when they survive in better condition elsewhere on the peninsula, typically consist of low circular or subcircular stone foundations, the remnants of simple dry-stone shelters used across a very broad span of Irish prehistory and early history. At Baile Ristín, however, the remains have deteriorated to the point where the ground itself has nearly reclaimed them, leaving little more than a suggestion of what once stood here. Two structures, a short distance from each other, speaking to some kind of settled or seasonal activity at this spot, though the record cannot say more than that.
