They are corbelled drystone huts, built using a technique in which courses of flat stones are laid so that each one slightly overhangs the last, eventually closing into a roof without any mortar, timber, or keystone. It is one of the oldest surviving building methods in Ireland, and examples of it on the Dingle Peninsula tend to attract considerable attention. These two, sitting in rough mountain terrain at Corr Áille, are less visited than most.

The two huts differ slightly in form. One is sub-rectangular, the other roughly oval, and they open onto opposite corners of a shared rectangular enclosure, which measures approximately 7.8 by 7.4 metres internally. The smaller hut stands around 1.55 metres high with an internal diameter of roughly 2.6 by 2.3 metres; the larger reaches 2.3 metres in height and measures 3.4 by 3.1 metres inside. That larger hut would have been tight but usable as shelter. Whether the enclosure between them served as a working area, a pen for animals, or some combination of the two is not recorded. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a thorough cataloguing of the area's extraordinary concentration of early monuments.
