The wall runs roughly west-north-west to east-south-east, and the structures are built into it rather than simply beside it, suggesting a long and layered history of human activity on this hillside, with one feature quietly repurposing another across the centuries.

The easternmost of the three is the best described: a subcircular area just over three metres in diameter, enclosed by a stony bank roughly half a metre high. All three are thought to have been hut sites, the kind of small, circular or near-circular shelters that appear across the Irish landscape and whose precise age and function can be difficult to pin down without excavation. They might be early medieval, they might be earlier still. J. Cuppage documented them as part of the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a survey that brought together a remarkable concentration of prehistoric and early historic remains from one of the most archaeologically dense areas in Ireland.
