It is a modest footprint for what amounts to a complete, self-contained world in miniature: two huts that were once lived in, several smaller outbuildings that likely sheltered animals or stored equipment, a set of disused field walls, and one completely enclosed field, all compressed into a strip of ground roughly 40 metres wide. What makes the site quietly arresting is precisely this completeness. This was not a single dwelling but a working settlement, and the landscape around it still holds the shape of the life once lived there.

The two habitable structures are built in drystone technique, meaning the walls are assembled from carefully fitted stone without any mortar binding them. One hut is oval in plan, measuring between 3.3 and 3.75 metres in diameter, with walls surviving to around 0.8 metres in height and built to a thickness of between 1.25 and 1.6 metres. The second is circular, slightly larger at 4 metres across, with walls still standing to 1.2 metres and between 1.5 and 1.8 metres thick. This second structure has been considerably modified at some point, making it harder to read in its original form. Both dimensions place these firmly in the tradition of small, seasonal or permanent upland shelters found across the Corca Dhuibhne region, the Irish-speaking heartland of the western Dingle Peninsula. The site was recorded and described by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey, a systematic attempt to document the extraordinary density of early remains across this part of Kerry.
