What lifts it above the ordinary is the entrance: two well-matched upright stones, carefully chosen and set, revetting either side of a gap just 0.8 metres wide to the south-south-east. The care taken with those two stones, mirror images of each other flanking a deliberately narrow opening, suggests this was not a casual arrangement.

The enclosure is nearly circular, measuring 12.4 metres north to south and 11.7 metres east to west, dimensions that place it in the broad category of small enclosed sites found across Munster and beyond, some of which served as farmsteads, some as animal pounds, and others whose purpose remains genuinely unclear. The formal, revetted entrance to the south-south-east is accompanied by less formal gaps in the wall to the south and south-west, which may be later breaks or secondary openings, though without excavation it is difficult to say with any certainty. The site is recorded in the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork, Volume 3, covering the mid-Cork region, published in 1997.
