It measures roughly 4.6 metres east to west and 3.3 metres north to south, with slightly rounded corners and walls of roughly built drystone construction, the kind of unmortared stacking of stone that has been used in Ireland for millennia. What makes it quietly odd is the way it sits: three sides are formed by those drystone walls, but the southern side abuts a vertical face of naturally outcropping rock, with only a short additional section of walling needed to close the circuit. Someone, at some point, looked at that rock face and saw a ready-made wall.

The entrance is narrow, just 0.4 metres wide, set into the north-west corner. The walls stand to about 0.8 metres in height and width, solid enough to have endured but modest in scale. Whether the structure dates to an early medieval period, when small enclosures served a range of agricultural and ritual purposes across Kerry, or to a much later era of pragmatic land use, is not firmly established. What is clear is that it has seen recent practical use: the enclosure appears to have sheltered animals within living memory, which is perhaps the most plausible explanation for its continued maintenance. The interior and exterior are now largely obscured by ferns and scattered loose stones, giving it the look of something that has quietly reverted to the hillside.
