What makes this site gently peculiar is the relationship between the two structures: one hut abuts the eastern side of the other, and the two may have been conjoined, functioning as a single connected unit rather than separate shelters.

The better-documented of the two measures 2.7 metres square internally, a modest space by any standard. Its walls, around 0.9 metres wide, are revetted on the inside, meaning they are faced and stabilised with a series of upright stones and slabs set on edge, a technique that shores up a wall's inner surface and gives it structural coherence. This kind of dry-stone construction, careful and deliberate in its use of local material, is characteristic of early vernacular building across the south-west of Ireland, though the precise date of these huts is not firmly established. The site was documented as part of a comprehensive archaeological survey of south Kerry, published in 1996 by Aubrey O'Sullivan and Jerry Sheehan, which catalogued the dense and often overlooked archaeology of the peninsula.
