What survives is mostly a broad mound of tumbled stone, but enough remains to read the shape of what was once a clochan, the beehive-shaped dry-stone hut associated with early Christian monastic and hermetic life in the west of Ireland. The internal diameter runs between 3.67 and 3.85 metres, making it a compact space, and the builders cut the floor directly into the hillside so that it sits nearly half a metre below the uphill ground surface, likely to provide shelter and stability on the uneven slope.

The surviving fabric is sparse but telling. The dry-stone walling, built without mortar in the ancient tradition, still stands to just over a metre in height at the north jamb of the entrance, and two short stretches of the internal facing also remain. The entrance itself faces east-north-east, is 0.7 metres wide and 1.3 metres long, and is approached through what appears to have been a small enclosed yard or forecourt, defined by collapsed walling and measuring roughly three metres across. This kind of forecourt arrangement, modest as it is, suggests a degree of deliberate planning around the approach to the structure. The site was catalogued by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, a systematic effort to document the extraordinary concentration of early monuments across the Corca Dhuibhne region.
