The two structures form a compound of sorts, with this second hut or annex pressed against the western side of the more substantial eastern hut. What makes this site quietly interesting is precisely its incompleteness, its relative indistinctness. It is the subordinate space, the annexe, and it survives only partially legible in the landscape.

Judith Cuppage, writing in her 1986 survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, noted that this western hut or annex is less well-defined than its eastern counterpart. Hut sites of this kind are typically the remains of early medieval stone-built shelters, often associated with monastic or pastoral activity, and the Dingle Peninsula holds an exceptional concentration of them. The pairing of a main hut with an attached annex suggests a functional relationship between the two spaces, perhaps one serving as living quarters and the other as a work or storage area, though the archaeology alone cannot settle the question. The fact that the western structure is harder to read on the ground does not diminish its significance; if anything, it raises it, because such ambiguity is often where the more interesting interpretive work begins.
