There are six of them in total, though only one still stands to any meaningful height. The surviving hut, roughly two metres long internally and not quite a metre and a half wide, rises to six courses of drystone walling, the kind of careful dry-laid construction that uses no mortar, relying instead on the weight and fit of the stones themselves. Its entrance, barely half a metre across, faces south. A small annex attaches at the north-east. The other five huts have collapsed into low spreads of rubble, some overgrown, their original shapes only partially legible from what remains.

Surveyed by Quinn and Carroll in 2010 as part of a heritage assessment for a proposed wind farm at Dooneens, the complex offers a few intriguing details despite the general state of collapse. Within the rubble of one hut to the south of the central structure, flat shale slabs are visible, which the surveyors suggested may indicate an original corbelled roof, a building technique in which stones are laid in overlapping horizontal courses, each projecting slightly inward, to form a roof without timber or thatch. Another hut on the eastern side of the group shows possible stepped walling or a base wider than the upper courses, hinting at a more considered construction method than the rough scatter of stones now suggests. The smallest huts in the group have internal dimensions of just one metre by one metre, barely enough space to shelter a single person, while the largest extends to six metres in length. No dating evidence is recorded, and the function of the complex, whether pastoral, seasonal, or otherwise, remains an open question.
