It is roughly pear-shaped, modest in its dimensions, and partially swallowed at one edge by a modern field boundary. What makes it quietly arresting is its position: set on ground that slopes markedly downward to the south, it opens onto a long view down the valley all the way to Valentia Harbour to the south-west. Whoever shaped this place had an eye for sightlines.

The enclosure measures approximately 12 metres north to south and 9.5 metres east to west. Its western and northern edges are defined by scarps, while the southern edge is marked by a double row of orthostats, which are upright standing slabs used to define or revetment a boundary. The majority of the slabs along the outer face have fallen flat, but their dimensions are still recorded: averaging around 0.9 metres long, 0.5 metres wide, and roughly 13 centimetres thick. At the south-east, two stones, a pillar stone and an orthostat, stand approximately one metre apart, suggesting the position of an original entrance. The site is best preserved along its eastern to south-western arc. Its date and precise function remain unspecified, though enclosures of this kind on the Iveragh peninsula are generally associated with early medieval or prehistoric activity in upland landscapes. The survey of the area was compiled by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan, published by Cork University Press in 1996 as part of a broader archaeological survey of south Kerry.
