A ring barrow is a burial monument of broadly Bronze Age character, consisting of a central platform or mound enclosed by a circular ditch, known as a fosse, and an outer earthen bank. What makes this particular example quietly arresting is its position: from the enclosure, the view opens westward and south-westward across the water towards the Blasket Islands, a placement that feels anything but accidental.

The monument is sub-circular in plan, roughly 17 metres north to south and 20 metres east to west within the enclosure itself, with overall dimensions of approximately 38 metres east to west and 35 metres north to south when the surrounding earthworks are included. The fosse is shallow, between one and two and a half metres wide and no more than 0.4 metres deep, and the external bank rises to a maximum of one metre on its inner face and 0.8 metres on the outer. Two opposed entrances break the circuit from east and west. The western entrance is 2.1 metres wide and retains a narrow causeway that carries a path across the fosse; the eastern entrance is rather wider at 3.6 metres and opens directly down onto the fosse bottom. Just north of that eastern opening, the bank shows signs of disturbance, though whether this is ancient or more recent interference is not recorded. The site was documented as part of the Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey published by J. Cuppage in 1986.
