No bank survives, no ditch, no upstanding stonework. The only evidence that anything was ever here comes from the air, where differential growth in crops reveals a sub-circular enclosure roughly 38 metres north to south and 40 metres east to west, with a circular hut feature approximately 10 metres across sitting at its centre. At ground level, the most a visitor might notice is a slight uneven quality to the surface, a few low undulations that could easily be dismissed as ordinary variation in farmland.

The site is interpreted as a univallate ringfort, meaning a single-ditched or single-banked enclosure of the kind built widely across Ireland during the early medieval period, typically as a defended farmstead for a family of some local standing. What makes the Kerries example particularly interesting is the souterrain associated with it. A souterrain is an underground stone-lined passage, often used for storage or as a place of refuge, and an opening to one survives approximately 10 to 15 metres to the north-west of the crop mark. The opening, measuring 1.3 metres by 0.75 metres, leads into a passage beneath the field. Researchers working on the prehistoric and early historic settlement of the Lee Valley near Tralee, including Michael Connolly in his 2008 doctoral thesis at University College Cork, noted that the souterrain had initially been linked to a different recorded monument on a nearby rock outcrop, but at 122 metres distant that association seemed unlikely. The closer relationship with the destroyed enclosure is far more plausible.

The souterrain opening has since been sealed by the landowner, closing off whatever passage lies beneath. The crop mark enclosure itself has no physical presence to observe, and the site sits 90 metres north of a separately recorded monument in the same area. What remains, in practical terms, is a field in level cleared ground, a slight rumpling of the earth, and the knowledge that somewhere underfoot a passage waits, sealed and unexcavated, attached to a settlement that only becomes legible when seen from above.
