The enclosure is modest in scale, roughly nine and a half metres across in one direction and just under nine in the other, yet the care taken in its construction is still visible: the wall is faced on both its inner and outer surfaces with horizontally laid slabs, a technique that gives a neat, deliberate finish to what would otherwise be a simple rubble mound. That rubble core survives between the two faces, and the wall itself reaches a maximum height of about half a metre.

Enclosures of this general type, roughly circular or oval stone-walled structures, are found across much of early medieval Ireland and are often associated with settlement, farming, or occasionally ecclesiastical use, though attributing a specific function to any one example without excavation is difficult. What makes this particular site worth noting is its position within a larger complex of features, suggesting it did not stand alone but formed part of a more extensive arrangement of structures or boundaries. A possible annex in ruined condition adjoins the northern side of the enclosure, hinting that the space was added to or adapted at some point, though the state of that addition makes it hard to say more. The site was documented by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan in their 1996 archaeological survey of South Kerry, a comprehensive study of the Iveragh Peninsula published by Cork University Press.
