These liminal spaces, neither fully sacred nor wholly secular, occupy a particular and melancholy corner of Irish religious and social history. This one survives as a roughly shaped plot, measuring approximately 34 metres north to south and 17.6 metres east to west, its interior raised noticeably above the surrounding ground on its downhill side, as if the land itself has quietly marked the boundary between this place and everything outside it.

The townland name, Fearann Na Cille, translates broadly as the land of the church, and it preserves the memory of a church that no longer stands. The field immediately east of the bridge over the Glennahoo river still carries the name Páirc na Cille, the field of the church, even though no physical trace of the building remains. The calluragh lies in an adjacent field, its enclosure defined on three sides by different means: a straight townland boundary wall to the east, which in places appears to sit on top of the collapsed remains of the original enclosure wall; a gently curving bank of turf-covered stones to the north-northwest, reaching up to a metre in height; and a sparse arrangement of stones set on edge along the southwest side. J. Cuppage documented the site in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey published by Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne, and it remains one of several such sites recorded across the peninsula.

The raised interior is one of the more quietly striking features of the site. On the downhill southwest side, the ground inside the enclosure stands up to 0.9 metres above the external level, a difference that becomes apparent only when you are close enough to read the landscape carefully. The rivers whose mouths the hill overlooks provide a useful orienting point from a distance, but the enclosure itself requires patience to find among the field boundaries and stone walls that characterise this part of west Kerry.
