What makes this one quietly interesting is not grandeur but detail: despite centuries of erosion, enough survives to read the site's original complexity, from the enclosing bank down to the faint traces of structures within.

The rath is univallate, meaning it had a single enclosing bank rather than the two or three rings that surrounded higher-status sites. That bank, built from earth and small stones, now stands no more than a metre high on its outer face and roughly half that on the interior, spread to about five metres at its base. Inside, towards the north-north-east, there is an irregular hollow roughly 3.5 metres across, its floor sitting just over half a metre below the general ground level of the interior and edged by a slight bank of its own. This is thought to be the remains of a hut-site, the sunken floor a common feature of early Irish domestic structures that helped retain warmth. Running westward from this hollow for around nine metres is a low ridge, and local information recorded by archaeologist J. Cuppage in his 1986 survey of the Dingle Peninsula suggests this ridge marks the course of a souterrain, an underground passage of dry-laid stone that served early Irish settlements as a place of refuge or cool storage. The overall dimensions of the enclosure, roughly 19.5 metres north to south and nearly 24 metres east to west, place it comfortably within the range of an ordinary farmstead rather than anything exceptional in terms of size or status.

Cuppage's survey, published as part of the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological project, remains the primary source for this site, and the combination of a possible hut depression and a likely souterrain, even in their eroded state, gives this modest rath more interior texture than many of its contemporaries on the peninsula.
