The earthwork sits beside the main Tralee to Cloghane road on a gentle north-facing slope, its southern face eaten away, most likely quarried for material when the road was laid. The result is a D-shaped platform rather than the circle it once was, a form that makes immediate sense only once you understand what has been lost. Ringforts, known in Irish as raths, were enclosed farmsteads typically dating from the early medieval period, roughly the fifth to the twelfth centuries, and they survive in their thousands across Ireland. Most are roughly circular earthen enclosures defined by a bank and ditch. Here, the bank that remains raises the interior platform about 1.8 metres above the surrounding field, and its crest stands 2.2 metres above external ground level, figures that give a sense of how deliberately imposing even a modest agricultural enclosure was intended to be.

The interior diameter is approximately 19 metres, which places this on the smaller end of the rath spectrum. The surviving bank runs along the western and northern edges of the platform; to the east, a later field wall has cut through and disturbed it. A single stone set on edge along the inner face of the bank, along with scattered loose stones nearby, hints that the earthwork may once have had internal stone facing, a finishing detail that would have given it a more formal, structural character. Whether that facing was extensive or partial is impossible to say; much of the bank is densely overgrown and resists close inspection. The area immediately south of the platform, where the original southern arc of the enclosure would have stood, has more recently served as a dump for field clearance debris, compounding the damage already done by quarrying. The site was documented as part of J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, Corca Dhuibhne, which remains a foundational reference for the archaeology of this part of Kerry.

The ringfort lies close to the level coastal plain bordering the southern shore of Brandon Bay, a location that would have offered its early medieval occupants reasonable agricultural ground and proximity to the coast without exposure to the full force of Atlantic weather. Travellers along the Tralee to Cloghane road pass it without necessarily recognising it for what it is, particularly given the missing southern section. The overgrown bank and the dumped clearance material do the monument no favours visually, but the raised platform is still legible from the roadside, and the lone edge-set stone visible through the vegetation remains a quiet detail worth pausing over.
