That kind of accidental palimpsest is easy to walk past without registering, but it says something about the continuity of life on this exposed Atlantic headland.

The better-preserved of the two structures measures roughly four metres in diameter and stands about one metre high, built in drystone construction, meaning the walls are held together by the careful fitting of stones rather than any mortar. Some twenty metres to the south sit the much more fragmentary remains of a second hut. The archaeologist R. A. S. Macalister, writing in 1899, recorded this second example as ranging from three to four and a half metres in diameter and noted a small subsidiary chamber within its interior. That internal chamber detail is intriguing: subsidiary chambers within circular huts are sometimes interpreted as storage spaces or sleeping alcoves, though what function it served here is not recorded. By the time the Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey was published in 1986 under J. Cuppage, the second structure was already described as very poorly preserved, and it has likely weathered further since.
