What survives is a caher, the Irish term for a stone-walled ringfort, roughly circular and nearly 24 metres across internally. Much of it has been absorbed into the working landscape around it, with stones almost certainly robbed out for a nearby field wall. Yet along its western sector the original construction is still legible, built from thin, regularly coursed slabs arranged with real precision, the wall here reaching about 3.5 metres wide and standing 2 metres high on the outside.

By 1914, a visitor named Lecky was able to describe a fairly perfect entrance on the southern side, formed through a curve in the thickness of the wall, a construction method known from other cahers along the Iveragh Peninsula. That entrance is now entirely obscured by collapse and overgrowth, though a stretch of rebuilt walling with a slight outward curve probably marks its approximate location. The interior ground level at the south rises at least a metre above the outside, hinting at the accumulated deposits that centuries of occupation and decay can build up inside an enclosure of this kind. More intriguing still is the blocked opening in the south-western quadrant of the interior, which leads into a stone-built souterrain, an underground passage or chamber typically used in early medieval Ireland for storage or refuge. The passage runs east to west, according to local information. Loose scatters of stone elsewhere in the interior may be the remains of cloghans, small dry-stone beehive-shaped structures, which Lecky also noted on his visit.
