What survives are not walls in any recognisable sense but subsided banks of earth and stone, in places barely half a metre high, tracing the footprints of rectangular structures around a burial ground and the remains of a church known as Teampall Mártain or An Teampall Liath, St Martin's Church. The date of the houses is unknown, which is itself telling: these are outlines that have shed most of the material evidence that might have anchored them to a particular century.

Four structures have been identified at the site, clustered around the enclosing bank that defines the churchyard at Calluragh. The largest, orientated roughly north-east to south-west, measures eleven metres by four and a half internally, and retains enough of its outer face to be traced in places. The others are smaller, ranging from under seven to nearly nine metres in their longest dimension, and each is reduced to low mounds or shallow depressions in the ground. One of the possible structures is identified only by a rectangular hollow, roughly half a metre deep, which abuts the western bank; a smaller depression two metres to its north may represent another. The opposed entrance gaps recorded in two of the structures give a faint sense of how people moved through them, east to west, but beyond that the buildings offer little. They sit around the church and burial ground in a configuration that suggests habitation close to a sacred site, a pattern common enough in early and medieval Ireland, though without a confirmed date here it remains suggestive rather than conclusive. The description of the site was first published by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, a landmark volume covering the archaeology of Corca Dhuibhne.

The site lies on slightly elevated ground within the valley, which means it commands a wide view of the surrounding landscape even as the structures themselves have all but disappeared into it. Visitors approaching the area will find the remains are subtle; the eye needs time to separate the deliberate shapes from the general undulations of the ground.
