Known locally as Clochán Ais, the group is not a single building but a whole scatter of interconnected and neighbouring forms, each built without mortar, relying instead on the careful stacking of stone upon stone in the ancient technique of drystone construction. What makes the site particularly arresting is its variety within a small area: circular corbelled huts, small annexes, odd little chambers of differing shapes, and a rectangular structure that sits among the rounded forms like an afterthought.

The complex was documented by J. Cuppage as part of the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, and its layout repays close reading. The northernmost structure is a corbelled hut, meaning its stone walls curve inward as they rise to form a self-supporting roof without any timber, a technique used in Ireland from prehistoric times well into the early medieval period. It measures 3.6 metres in diameter and stands 1.4 metres high, with walls 1.25 metres thick, and has an entrance gap facing east. A small oval annex, just 1.3 by 1.1 metres, opens off its north-western side. Abutting this hut to the south-east are three small chambers, circular, sub-rectangular, and sub-circular in plan, the largest reaching 1.8 metres internally. Further south again, a low rectangular structure, only 0.6 metres high and 2.5 by 0.9 metres in dimension, interrupts the pattern before the group closes with a second corbelled hut, slightly smaller at 2.05 metres in diameter but taller at 1.75 metres, its lintelled entrance opening south-eastward into a small forecourt. At least one of the structures has seen practical reuse; the interior of the northernmost hut has been subdivided, apparently to serve as a sheep-shelter, a reminder that these old forms have never quite stopped being useful.
