These are the traces of early habitation, stone foundations or hollows that once formed the walls and floors of small shelters, the sort of structures that survive in Kerry in considerable numbers owing to the durability of the local stone and the relative absence of intensive land disturbance in upland areas.

A survey conducted by Mitchell in 1989 recorded two further huts associated with the site, one located within the main enclosure and one positioned outside it to the south-west. This detail matters because the relationship between interior and exterior structures can suggest how a site was organised and used, whether as a seasonal settlement, a farming outpost, or something else entirely. The broader record for this site was drawn together by archaeologists A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan in their survey of the Iveragh Peninsula published by Cork University Press in 1996, a work that systematically documented the remarkable density of early remains across south Kerry, a region where the archaeology has survived in unusual quantity.
