One survives as a circular drystone structure, roughly 2.6 metres in diameter and barely half a metre high, its walls long since sagged and spread. A short distance to the south, a mound of collapsed stone marks where a second building once stood. Together they represent a form of settlement that was once common across this part of Kerry, small corbelled or drystone huts that provided shelter for people working the land or tending animals on the higher ground.

The site was recorded as part of the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey published in 1986, a systematic effort to document the extraordinary density of early remains across the Dingle Peninsula. That survey, compiled by J. Cuppage and published by Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne, catalogued hundreds of features across a landscape that has been continuously inhabited since prehistory. Drystone hut sites of this kind are generally associated with seasonal or pastoral use, though without excavation it is difficult to assign a precise date. The construction method, fitting uncut stones together without mortar, is ancient and was used across many different periods. What survives at Na Gleannta Thuaidh is minimal, but its pairing with a second collapsed structure nearby suggests a small cluster of activity rather than a lone, incidental shelter.
