The enclosure is a univallate rath, meaning it is defended by a single earthen bank or wall, a form that appears across Ireland in early medieval contexts and was typically associated with a farmstead and its household. What makes this site quietly compelling is not grandeur but compression: within that single ring, multiple generations may have sheltered, worked, and, if a reference by a local researcher named Curran is to be believed, passed through an underground passage, or souterrain, a stone-lined tunnel used for storage or concealment.

The most legible of the three hut sites sits in the south-western sector of the enclosure. It is roughly circular, around four metres in diameter, and its walls have long since sunk to grass-grown foundations, visible more as a low swelling in the ground than any upright masonry. At the entrance, however, two upright slabs still stand, framing a threshold that has not been crossed in purpose for well over a thousand years. The detail comes from J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, the Dingle Peninsula, which catalogued this site among a dense concentration of early remains in one of the most archaeologically layered landscapes in western Ireland. The possible souterrain is noted only briefly and has not been fully documented, leaving one element of the site still open to question.
