Drystone construction, meaning walls built from stacked stone without mortar, was used across Ireland for millennia, and the technique is well suited to the boulder-strewn landscape of Corca Dhuibhne. What makes this particular grouping worth attention is the scale of it: not a lone, ambiguous ruin, but a large collection of structures spread across terrain that was once, in some earlier era, deliberately organised and farmed.

One of the group is an arc of walling that represents the surviving eastern section of what was probably a circular building, with a diameter of roughly three to three and a half metres and walls still standing to around sixty centimetres. Circular or subcircular hut sites of this kind are a characteristic feature of the Dingle Peninsula's archaeological landscape, and the 1986 survey of the area by J. Cuppage, published under the Irish-language title for the region, Corca Dhuibhne, documented this site as part of a broader effort to catalogue the remarkable density of early remains along this stretch of the Kerry coast. The association with an old field system suggests that whoever built and used these structures was also working the surrounding land, though the precise period of occupation is not recorded.
