It is not one coherent structure but two distinct sections, separated by a gap of roughly six metres, differing from each other in both shape and size, and bisected by a modern wire fence. The northern half is sub-rectangular with slightly curving sides, measuring approximately 18 metres east to west and 15 metres north to south, enclosed by a bank of earth and stone averaging 0.8 metres in height. The southern section is a larger semi-circle, about 30 metres in diameter internally, its eastern side defined by a proper bank while its western side dissolves into little more than a low scarp where the hillside itself does the work of containment. Inside the southern section, partially buried in the grass, are the foundations of a small structure of indeterminate shape, possibly a hut, enclosed by a bank so low and poorly defined it barely registers at ground level.

What makes the site genuinely puzzling is that nobody has been able to establish what it was for. J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, the Dingle Peninsula, catalogued it but could not resolve the question of function. There is an additional complication around its age: the enclosure does not appear on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey map but is present on the second edition, suggesting it may be of comparatively recent origin rather than the kind of ancient field system or settlement enclosure that typifies similar earthworks in the area. A disused field wall runs westward from the enclosure, extending roughly halfway across the northern side of the southern section, hinting at some agricultural connection, though that too remains speculative. The two halves open toward each other across that six-metre gap, but whether they ever functioned together, or represent two separate phases of activity by different hands, is unresolved.
