The building measures roughly 8.4 metres by 4.9 metres, a substantial footprint, and its walls, faced on the outside with flat slabs, still stand to around a metre in height with a thickness of 0.8 metres. Gaps have opened in both side-walls and in the north-east end-wall, whether through deliberate removal of stone, collapse, or the slow persistence of roots and weather is not recorded.

What gives the structure its quiet archaeological interest is its relationship to an older feature. The south-east end-wall is built directly against an enclosing element of a pre-existing enclosure, meaning whoever constructed the house either incorporated the earlier boundary into their design or simply made practical use of what was already standing. An enclosure in this context typically refers to a roughly circular or oval earthwork or stone boundary, often associated with early medieval settlement, and the deliberate abutting of a later building against such a feature is a reminder that the landscape of the Iveragh Peninsula was layered with use across many centuries. The date of the house itself is unresolved, listed only as indeterminate, which is itself telling. The flat-slab facing and the scale suggest a vernacular building tradition that persisted in parts of Kerry well into the post-medieval period, but without excavation the question stays open.
