Known as Púca na nAsal, meaning something along the lines of "the ghost" or "the sprite of the donkeys," the site is now largely a cairn of collapsed stonework, the original walls having long since tumbled inward on themselves. That a heap of rubble should carry such an evocative name is one of those small, persistent puzzles that the Irish landscape occasionally throws up.

What lies beneath the collapse is thought to be a group of probably three conjoined hut structures. Conjoined huts of this kind are a recurring feature of the early medieval and prehistoric landscape of the Dingle Peninsula, where communities built clusters of drystone cells that shared walls and sometimes passageways, huddled together against the Atlantic weather. The site was recorded in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a detailed catalogue of the extraordinary concentration of monuments found across this corner of Kerry. Beyond that record, the structures themselves have little left to say above ground level, their stones having gradually redistributed into the low, rounded mound that visitors, if they find it at all, would see today.
