An 1894 Ordnance Survey six-inch map records it clearly enough, an oval outline roughly 30 metres across its longer north-west to south-east axis and about 20 metres across the shorter, sitting beside what was then a farmyard. Today, the only physical trace is a scatter of stones in the grass. Whatever boundary once defined this space, whether a earthen bank, a drystone wall, or something older still, has long since been absorbed back into the landscape.

Enclosures of this kind are common throughout Kerry and the wider Irish countryside. They range from early medieval ringforts, which served as enclosed farmsteads, to earlier prehistoric enclosures whose original purposes remain less certain. Without excavation, it is difficult to assign this particular site a period or a function. What can be said is that by the time the Victorian surveyors came through with their instruments and mapping conventions, the feature was already reduced enough to be noted rather than described in any detail, recorded as an oval outline beside a working farm, its significance already fading into the ordinary rhythms of agricultural life. The southward view from the site takes in the twin rounded hills known as the Paps of Dana, a pair of breast-shaped summits long associated in Irish mythology with the goddess Danu, which gives some sense of the wider ceremonial and mythological landscape in which sites like this one sit.
