What makes it quietly interesting is the way its builders worked with the ground rather than against it: where the wall would have needed to cross natural rock outcrops to the south-southwest and northwest, they simply incorporated the outcropping stone into the structure itself, blurring the boundary between built and geological. The enclosure measures roughly nine metres east to west and just under five metres north to south, with wall remains that survive to around half a metre in height and about the same in thickness.

Small enclosures of this kind, defined by drystone walling, are scattered across the uplands of south-west Kerry, and they are not always easy to date or interpret with certainty. What gives this one a degree of specificity is the presence of a hut site within its interior, the raised south-eastern portion of which sits about thirty centimetres above the general ground level. A hut site, in this context, refers to the remains of a simple dry-stone or earthen structure that once served as a shelter or dwelling, often associated with seasonal farming activity in the uplands. The combination of an enclosure and an interior hut is a pattern seen elsewhere in Kerry, sometimes linked to the practice of transhumance, whereby cattle were driven to higher pastures in summer and tended from temporary shelters.
