It is sub-circular in shape, meaning roughly but not perfectly round, a form common to early Irish enclosed settlements and field structures, though this one is modest even by those standards. Internally it measures just 5.2 metres north to south and 6 metres east to west, barely large enough to shelter a handful of people or a small group of animals.

The enclosure is defined by a band of small stones, still standing up to 0.8 metres high and around 2 metres wide, though heavily overgrown. At the south-east, there appears to have been an entrance, now blocked by collapse. It sits approximately 200 metres to the north-east of another recorded site in the same townland, suggesting this part of Ceathrú an Fheirtéaraigh, in the Irish-speaking heartland of Corca Dhuibhne, was once a more active landscape than its present quiet state implies. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, a detailed regional study of the area's field monuments.
