The huts are not grand structures by any measure, but their dimensions tell a quiet story of domestic life: the western example measures roughly 4.6 metres by 4.3 metres internally, its entrance gap still facing south, as was common practice in early Irish settlement building, likely to shelter occupants from prevailing winds and to catch available light.

What makes the site particularly legible to a careful eye is the survival of the wall footings themselves. They stand up to 1.1 metres high and reach 1.7 metres in width, dimensions that suggest the original walls were substantial constructions rather than lightweight partitions. The footings sit just inside the enclosing caher wall, a positioning that would have made efficient use of the sheltered space within the enclosure. The site was documented by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan in their archaeological survey of the Iveragh Peninsula, published by Cork University Press in 1996, which remains a key reference for the dense scatter of early medieval and prehistoric monuments across this part of south Kerry.
