Where most raths present a relatively flat enclosed space, this one preserves a raised platform inside its own enclosure, a semi-circular area in the western sector curving inward toward the bank, standing some 0.7 metres high. Alongside it sit two small depressions in the ground, regular enough in shape to suggest they are not accidental. The whole interior sits above the level of the surrounding land, giving the enclosed space an almost tiered quality.

The structure itself is a univallate rath, meaning it has a single enclosing bank rather than the multiple concentric banks found at higher-status sites. That bank is built from earth and stone, averaging 6.9 metres in width and reaching up to 2 metres on its outer face. The interior diameter runs to roughly 29 metres across, broadly typical for a ringfort of this kind. Ringforts, constructed mostly during the early medieval period in Ireland, functioned as enclosed farmsteads, the bank providing a degree of security for livestock and household alike. Two original entrance gaps survive, one to the north-west and one to the south-east, each around 2.2 to 2.4 metres wide. The site was documented in the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, compiled by C. Toal and published in 1995, which recorded these internal features with some precision. The semi-circular raised area and the paired depressions are the details that linger: they hint at structures or activities within the enclosure whose exact nature the earthworks alone cannot settle.
