What makes the group quietly odd is the mix of purposes compressed into a small area: four drystone hut foundations and two sheep-folds, all grouped closely together, suggesting a working landscape where the boundary between human shelter and animal enclosure was never very wide. One of the structures, the smallest of the four, has a lintelled entrance so low that a person could not pass through it upright; it was built, it seems, for sheep rather than people.

The four foundations vary considerably in form and scale. The first is circular and corbelled, though described as poorly constructed, standing only about 0.8 metres high with walls roughly 0.85 metres thick and an internal diameter narrowing from two metres to 1.85 metres. Corbelled construction, in which courses of stone are laid so that each projects slightly inward over the one below until the gap at the top can be closed, is a technique with a very long history on the Dingle Peninsula and across the broader Corca Dhuibhne landscape. The second hut takes a D-shape, its straight southeastern side formed not by coursed masonry but by a natural rock outcrop pressed into service as a wall. It stands taller, at 1.25 metres, with an internal spread of around 2.6 to 2.83 metres. The third has been largely swallowed by a later sheep-pen built directly on the site, leaving only probable traces of what was once there. The fourth is the most substantial: a circular corbelled foundation with walls 1.6 metres thick, standing two metres high and enclosing a diameter of roughly 3.12 metres. J. Cuppage documented the group in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, the foundational catalogue of the peninsula's field monuments, though the record has been revised in the light of subsequent research.
