The wall's lower courses still protrude above the peat, and some of its stones are set upright at right angles to the wall's line, a construction detail that gives the structure an oddly deliberate quality even in its ruined state. The enclosure itself is irregularly shaped, roughly a hundred metres from north to south and sixty-five metres from east to west, which sets it apart from the more regular ringforts, or raths, common elsewhere in Munster.

Within the interior, the site becomes more complex. A smaller circular enclosure sits in the western half, and two hut sites occupy the eastern portion and the southern interior respectively, the first abutting the inner face of the enclosure wall, the second positioned about thirty metres further south. Hut sites of this kind are typically the remains of simple dry-stone or turf-walled shelters, their foundations surviving long after any roofing material has gone. The combination of an outer enclosure, an inner circular feature, and multiple hut remains suggests a settlement of some layered domestic purpose, though the rough peaty pasture it sits in now gives little hint of former occupation. The view south-west over Berehaven Harbour would have made this a well-situated, if exposed, place to live.
