What survives today is less a ring than a half-circle, a raised platform with an internal diameter of around 19 metres, lifted no more than 1.2 metres above the surrounding field on its downhill side. The upslope half has effectively vanished, its boundary now formed by an ordinary field wall that absorbed or replaced whatever once stood there. Across the whole surface and down the flanks, small stones lie spread in a low, dense scatter, thickening slightly towards the outer edge to form what might generously be called a bank, though it is barely perceptible to the eye.

The site almost certainly corresponds to a description recorded in the Ordnance Survey Name Books for the townland of Cloghane, which noted, in the manner of early nineteenth-century surveyors trying to make sense of a half-buried past, 'a heap of stones forming a kind of circle', with the remains of a small house and a souterrain visible inside. A souterrain is an underground stone-lined passage or chamber, typically associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, often interpreted as storage space or a refuge. That combination of a circular enclosure, a dwelling, and a souterrain would suggest a date somewhere in the early medieval period, though nothing about the site as it now stands makes that easy to confirm. The 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey by J. Cuppage catalogued the enclosure as part of a broader effort to document the extraordinary concentration of ancient monuments on the Corca Dhuibhne peninsula, where field boundaries, ring forts, ogham stones, and ecclesiastical sites accumulate in a landscape that was heavily settled for millennia.
