The main structure measures just over three metres across and survives to a height of roughly 80 centimetres, with walls nearly a metre thick. Those proportions tell their own story: this was not a substantial dwelling but something more temporary, a seasonal shelter of the kind that would have served a person tending animals on the upper grazing ground.

The two adjacent enclosures are interpreted as sheep-pens or sheep-shelters, which places this site within a long tradition of transhumance on the Dingle Peninsula, the practice of moving livestock to higher pastures in summer and back to lower ground for winter. Structures like this one were part of the working fabric of that seasonal rhythm rather than permanent habitation. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a thorough catalogue of the extraordinary density of field monuments in this part of west Kerry. The dimensions recorded then, modest as they are, are precise enough to convey something of the human scale of the place.
