Dense vegetation and waterlogged ground have long frustrated any close examination of the site, which takes the form of a circular raised platform roughly 34 metres in diameter, ringed by a shallow fosse (a defensive or boundary ditch) and an outer bank. Within that outer arrangement, roughly at the centre of the platform, lies a further circular depression enclosed by a low bank of stone and earth, measuring around 11 metres across. The platform itself is scattered with stone. The result is a set of concentric earthworks, one inside the other, whose purpose remains uncertain.

The enclosure sits at the western end of an east-west ridge, a position that would have offered a commanding view north across the Lispole valley. In the north-western sector, a drain has been cut around the outside of the bank, and that same stretch of bank appears at some point to have been pressed into use as a field boundary, suggesting the site has had more than one life across the centuries. Traces of a second outer fosse survive in the south-western sector. The description of the site derives from J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, the Corca Dhuibhne survey, which catalogued the extraordinary density of prehistoric and early medieval monuments across that part of Kerry. The inner feature, a circular depression contained within its own low enclosing bank and positioned almost centrally on the raised platform, is the element that makes the site particularly unusual. Whether it represents the remains of a structure, a souterrain opening, or something else entirely is not clear from what can be observed at the surface.
