While doing some science I embarked right next to a goblin dark pits, when I spied multiple small structures in my area. They were all of slightly different sizes, but all square, with an entrance and no door, with one tile thick walls, and a floor as a roof above it all.

The especially strange thing about them is that they were made of normally impossible wall materials. Specifically, leather, and plant matter. One was of wild boar leather, another of white stork leather, and one more of rope reed. I was playing with the steam version, and the leather walls appeared as constructed stone walls would, and the rope reed walls as dirt, but all with appropriate colors, the leather of a light brown, and the plant walls of green.

Anyone have any idea what these are? Any normal civilized site, I should think, would have blocked me from embarking, and as far as I know no one makes buildings out of leather or plant matter (besides wood).

Edit: I think it's a tent, now that I've done some research on it.

ah yes, the 'tents'. they appear near goblin places and I think elsewhere, maybe some bandit camps, but I'm not certain.

edit: i know nothing apparently

I think they are associated with refugees

Tents are associated with armies on the march.  You meet them frequently in adventure mode.  They should leave eventually, but sometimes they get stuck.
