At least four circular structures survive here, each roughly 3.3 metres in diameter with an interior height of around 0.6 metres, and each pierced by a small opening. They are modest in scale, low to the ground, and easy to miss.

Cells of this kind are associated with early Christian monastic life in Ireland, where individual monks would occupy small, often beehive-shaped stone huts as places of prayer and retreat. The practice was particularly common along the western seaboard, where isolated enclosures provided communities of hermits or monks with a defined sacred boundary, often marked by a circular or oval earthwork or wall. At Caheravart, these cells sit within just such an enclosure, suggesting the site functioned as one of the many small, local monasteries or hermitages that once dotted the Irish landscape before the consolidation of religious life into larger communities during the medieval period. The cells themselves are dry-stone constructions, built without mortar, relying on the careful placement of local stone to create a sheltered interior space barely tall enough to crouch in.
