On its own, neither feature would draw much attention. Together, they are thought to mark the footprint of a hut, the faint domestic ghost of a structure that once stood within the protected space of the enclosure.

The ringfort itself is univallate, meaning it has a single enclosing bank, in this case built from earth and stone, forming a roughly sub-circular area. Ringforts of this type were the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, functioning as farmsteads or family enclosures rather than military fortifications. This one sits towards the corner of a field in north Kerry, with a fieldbank running along its northern and western sides. The possible hut site on the eastern interior edge is the detail that sets it apart slightly. That curved stone lining, and the mound before it, suggest the outline of a small dwelling, the kind of low, circular structure that would once have been a familiar feature of the Irish countryside. The site was documented as part of C. Toal's North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995.
