It was built using corbelling, a method in which courses of drystone are laid so that each ring of stones slightly overhangs the one below, eventually closing into a rough dome without any mortar or timber. The result looks, at a glance, like something from the early medieval period, the kind of beehive cell associated with early Christian monasticism on this stretch of the Kerry coast. This one, however, is modern.

The hut measures roughly 2.45 metres across and stands about 2.5 metres high, dimensions that place it firmly in the tradition of small agricultural or domestic outbuildings rather than any ceremonial or religious use. It now stands partly collapsed. The Dingle Peninsula, known in Irish as Corca Dhuibhne, has an unusually dense concentration of corbelled stone structures, and the technique never entirely disappeared from local building practice, which is part of what makes it easy to misread a structure like this one. The juxtaposition with the abandoned farmhouse beside it adds a quiet layer of interest: two buildings, both now disused, one recalling a tradition that stretches back well over a thousand years.
