From a distance it reads as a slight rise in rough pasture, but the geometry is deliberate and precise: a circular platform twelve metres across, encircled by a fosse (a rock-cut or earthen ditch) one and a half metres wide, then an outer bank roughly three metres broad, bringing the whole monument to an overall diameter of around twenty-three metres. That outer bank stands less than half a metre above the surrounding field on its exterior face, but nearly a metre higher when measured from inside, giving the interior a sense of enclosure that the modest external profile does not suggest.

What makes this particular barrow a little stranger than the typical prehistoric mound is the care taken over its entrances. Two causeways breach the fosse, one to the ESE and one to the WNW, providing deliberate points of access to the central platform. The WNW causeway narrows noticeably at its midpoint, pinching from two metres at either end down to just over a metre in the middle, a feature that may have held some ritual significance or simply reflects the practicalities of construction. The ESE causeway is somewhat disturbed but carries an intriguing detail: a large stone sits at its north-eastern edge, and it is genuinely uncertain whether this is a placed marker or simply a boulder that happened to be in the way. Nine and a half metres to the north, a possible standing stone, roughly seventy centimetres high and aligned along the same ESE to WNW axis as the causeways, adds to the sense that this landscape was organised with some intention. A second, larger standing stone sits around a hundred and fifty metres to the east. The site was recorded in detail by J. Cuppage as part of the Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey published in 1986, which remains a foundational document for understanding the density of prehistoric activity across Corca Dhuibhne.

The disused field boundaries running to the north and west of the site complicate the picture pleasingly. One of them appears to have clipped and disturbed the outer bank, and it is possible that material from the monument itself was repurposed when those boundaries were constructed, centuries or millennia after the barrow was first built. The view south-east towards Dingle Harbour that the site commands is the same view it would have offered its builders, and that continuity, quiet and unannounced, is perhaps the most striking thing about it.
