The two structures now overlap in a way that makes it genuinely difficult to separate one era from another without knowing what to look for.

What survives here is a cashel, a type of stone ringfort built from drystone walling rather than earthen banks, roughly circular in plan and measuring about 34 metres in diameter. Cashels are found across Ireland but are particularly associated with the west, where surface stone was plentiful and easily stacked without mortar. This one has largely collapsed, and a later field wall running from east to south has been laid directly over the original structure, obscuring the line of the early medieval perimeter. More interesting, perhaps, is what survives around the eastern half of the monument: a large D-shaped enclosure or annexe, measuring around 49 metres from north to south, built in a similar drystone technique to the cashel itself. Annexes of this kind were sometimes used for penning livestock or as working areas associated with a farmstead; this one is substantial enough to suggest the original settlement was more than a simple homestead. The site was recorded by McCaffrey in 1952.
