A rath is an early medieval enclosed settlement, typically circular and defined by an earthen bank and ditch, used as a farmstead or dwelling. What makes this particular site still more interesting is what lies within one of those enclosures: three conjoined huts, their circular forms pressed together inside a single interior space.

The site documented here contains three huts arranged together, the third of which, roughly 4.5 metres in internal diameter, abuts the southeastern side of the central hut. Its enclosing bank survives to a maximum of 0.7 metres in height on the interior side and 0.6 metres externally, with an entrance gap opening to the north. The whole complex sits approximately 50 metres from one neighbouring rath and around 75 metres from another, suggesting this part of the Dingle Peninsula once supported a notably concentrated pattern of early settlement. The details come from J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne area, a landmark study of the Dingle Peninsula that brought systematic attention to the density and variety of ancient remains on this stretch of the Kerry coast.
