A subcircular enclosure, a hut, a stone cross, and a cross-inscribed slab survive in various states of preservation. But somewhere beneath the ground at the centre of the site, according to a 1957 observation by the scholar Henry, there was once a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage typically used in early medieval Ireland for storage or refuge. No visible trace of it remains today.

The site is understood to have functioned as a ceallúnach, a category of early Christian burial ground distinct from a parish churchyard, often associated with unbaptised infants or others who were, for one reason or another, excluded from consecrated ground. The name carries a particular weight in Irish tradition; these were quiet, marginal places, set apart from the main community of the dead. Here, the uninscribed grave-markers are numerous, clustered especially thickly in the southern half of the enclosure, their anonymity a defining characteristic of the ceallúnach tradition. No names, no dates, just rough stones pressed into poorly drained ground near a Kerry lough.
