They sit roughly twelve metres apart, each one roughly circular in plan, their walls still standing to a height of over two metres in places and built to a thickness of between 1.2 and 1.8 metres. That combination of height and wall depth suggests structures built to last and to insulate, not casual shelters thrown up for a single season.

The huts were recorded as part of the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey compiled by J. Cuppage, a systematic examination of the Dingle Peninsula that brought many such sites to wider attention. Each structure measures between 2.3 and 2.5 metres in internal diameter, making them tight but functional spaces. Notably, no corbelling is evident. Corbelling is a building technique in which courses of stone are progressively cantilevered inward to form a self-supporting beehive roof, familiar from the early medieval clochán cells found elsewhere on the peninsula. The absence of that technique here leaves open questions about how these huts were originally roofed, and about how they relate chronologically to the corbelled tradition. Whether they served as seasonal booley huts used during summer transhumance, when cattle were driven to upland pastures, or had some other agricultural or pastoral purpose, is not recorded.
