The site sits on the northern side of the Owroe river valley, in open terrain between the summits of Coomacarrea and Meenteog on the Iveragh Peninsula. That eight structures should occupy a single ledge, spread across roughly 40 metres east to west, suggests this was never a solitary shelter but something more organised, perhaps a seasonal settlement used by those moving livestock through the uplands.

The huts are drystone built and circular in plan, a form common to early medieval and later pastoral settlement across Ireland, though the precise date of this cluster has not been established. Seven of the eight survive in poor condition, standing only one or two courses high, with diameters ranging from 2 metres to 6 metres. The variation in size hints at different uses: smaller structures may have served as stores or byres rather than sleeping quarters. The northernmost hut is the best preserved of the group, retaining enough of its fabric to give a clearer sense of what the others once looked like. The site was recorded as part of a comprehensive archaeological survey of South Kerry compiled by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan and published by Cork University Press in 1996, which remains the principal source for upland sites of this kind on the peninsula.
