What makes it quietly interesting is not its size but the care built into its construction. The enclosure is irregular in plan, narrowing from roughly four metres across at the northern end to just over two metres at the south, and whoever built it took deliberate steps to deal with the gradient of the hillside. The western portion of the interior was left raised, while the eastern portion was cut nearly half a metre down into the slope, creating a level floor from terrain that would otherwise have made the space unusable.

Drystone construction of this kind, in which walls are built without mortar by stacking and wedging stones together, is common across the Irish uplands, and enclosures like this one appear throughout Kerry wherever rough grazing land meets older patterns of land use. The walls here, though now collapsed, were originally around 1.3 metres high and 0.6 metres thick, substantial enough to suggest a structure intended for more than a casual or temporary purpose. Loose stones scattered on the downslope outside the walls are likely the result of that collapse over time. What the enclosure was actually used for, whether as a shelter for animals, a small working space, or something else entirely, is not recorded, and the irregular shape and modest dimensions leave the question open.
