Drystone construction means exactly what it sounds like: stone laid without mortar, relying entirely on careful arrangement and gravity to hold its shape. These structures have held their shape, after a fashion, though one survives only a single course high, its walls reduced to little more than a rough outline pressed into the hillside.

The larger of the two huts retains upright slabs set against its inner wall-face as revetting, a technique used to stabilise and line a curved interior. Its plan is subcircular, the typical form for this kind of small shelter, and it may be conjoined with its smaller neighbour to the northwest. That second hut measures roughly 2.5 metres by 1.7 metres, an extremely modest space, with two edge-set slabs placed 1.1 metres apart marking what appears to be an entrance on the southern side. The relationship between the two structures is not entirely resolved; they may have functioned together, or the smaller may be a later addition to the larger. The survey of the Iveragh Peninsula compiled by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan, published by Cork University Press in 1996, records both, though it stops short of assigning them a firm date or cultural context. Sites like these on Kerry hillsides are often associated with seasonal pastoral activity, the kind of temporary occupation that left few traces beyond the stones themselves.
