Of the six buildings that make up the complex, only two are considered large enough to have housed people; the rest were likely outhouses or animal shelters. Alongside them are the traces of disused field walls and a single completely enclosed field, the kind of detail that suggests this was once a working agricultural settlement rather than a temporary shelter or seasonal camp.

The two habitable huts are built in drystone construction, meaning the walls were assembled from carefully placed stone without any mortar binding them. One is oval in plan, measuring between 3.3 and 3.75 metres in diameter, with walls standing around 0.8 metres high and up to 1.6 metres thick. The second is circular, slightly larger at 4 metres across, with walls reaching 1.2 metres in height, and described as considerably modified from its original form. Wall thickness of this order is characteristic of early medieval and early Christian period vernacular building in Ireland, where mass and stability substituted for the binding agent that mortar would later provide. The site was recorded and described by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, a landmark study of the Corca Dhuibhne region that catalogued hundreds of monuments across this densely layered landscape.
