The relationship between them is the kind of quiet puzzle that appeals to archaeologists and curious walkers alike: were these separate structures, or two chambers of the same dwelling? The scrub and recently planted trees that now occupy the site make the question harder to answer, and the interior of the northern hut is filled with sod-covered rubble, its walls barely legible above the ground.

What survives of the northern hut gives a sense of its original scale. Its internal diameter measures 5.3 metres, and its walls, where they can still be traced, are up to 2.7 metres wide, preserving some external drystone facing on the south-western side. Drystone construction, in which stones are stacked without mortar, was common in early Irish settlement sites, and walls of this thickness suggest a structure built to last, possibly with rubble-filled cores for added stability. Extending from the south-eastern side of this hut is a band of collapsed stone and rubble stretching 7.7 metres in length and 4.5 metres wide, which abuts what appears to be a second, adjoining hut. The whole cluster is associated with a trackway, implying that whoever lived or worked here was connected to a wider landscape of movement and activity on the Iveragh Peninsula. The site was documented as part of an archaeological survey of South Kerry published in 1996, though disturbance, both recent and older, has complicated the picture considerably.
