The site sits on level ground with an open outlook in every direction, the kind of exposure that would have made it both practical for its original occupants and vulnerable to the gradual encroachment of agricultural land improvement over the centuries.

The better-preserved of the two huts is a circular stone structure positioned a little south of centre within the enclosure. Its internal diameter measures 4 metres, and the drystone wall, built without mortar in a technique familiar throughout the Irish early medieval period, survives only two courses high. A short stretch of the outer face, still visible until relatively recently, indicated that the wall was originally 2.15 metres wide, a substantial thickness suggesting a building designed to last. The northeast half of the structure has since become indiscernible, lost to the same field reclamation that has been gradually working across the surrounding ground. These details were recorded by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a thorough cataloguing of a landscape that contains an unusually dense concentration of early remains.
