Clochauns are small, beehive-shaped stone huts built using the corbelling technique, in which stones are laid in overlapping horizontal courses that gradually converge to form a domed roof without mortar or timber. They are found across the Dingle Peninsula in some number, but encountering a cluster of them still in recognisable form carries a particular weight.

One of the huts in this group is especially well preserved. Roughly circular in plan, it measures between 2.27 and 2.4 metres in diameter, stands approximately 2 metres high, and has walls around a metre thick. Built entirely of dry-laid stone, it has a small animal shelter built directly against its western wall, suggesting that whoever used it kept livestock close at hand. The combination of human dwelling and animal pen in a single compact structure speaks to a way of life organised around proximity and practicality rather than convenience. The site sits a little upslope and to the west of related structures in the same group, all of them documented in the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey compiled by J. Cuppage in 1986, which catalogued the remarkable density of early remains across the Dingle Peninsula.
