Drystone construction, which uses no mortar and relies entirely on the careful stacking of stone against stone, is among the oldest and most enduring building techniques in Ireland, and it survives in Kerry's uplands with particular persistence, partly because the raw material is so abundant and partly because these valleys were used hard over many centuries.

Among the group, a pair of circular conjoined huts draws particular attention, not for their height, which stands at roughly a metre, but for their form. The two share a wall, one measuring about 2.5 metres in diameter and the other around 4 metres, giving the combined structure an unusual double-lobed plan. Conjoined circular huts of this kind are found elsewhere on the Dingle Peninsula and generally point to domestic or pastoral use, though precisely when these were occupied is difficult to establish without excavation. The surrounding field system, designated separately in the archaeological record, suggests they were not isolated shelters but part of a broader, organised presence on this ground. J. Cuppage documented the site in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, by which point the huts were already described as very poorly preserved.
