The site was recorded on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey map and labelled simply as "Fort" on the Fair Plan, the working document surveyors used before the final map was engraved. That label suggests the enclosure was interpreted, at least by nineteenth-century eyes, as a defensive or enclosed settlement rather than a purely religious complex. Today, none of it survives above ground.

The enclosure was catalogued by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, which remains one of the most thorough regional surveys carried out in Ireland. At the time of that survey the site was already gone, known only through the cartographic record. The four clochans marked within it would have been corbelled stone structures, built without mortar, each course of stone slightly overlapping the one below until the walls met at the top. Such buildings are found in some number along this stretch of the Dingle Peninsula, but the combination of a formal circular enclosure with multiple clochans named as a fort gives this vanished site a particular character. Whatever stood here, whether a small monastic enclosure, a secular farmstead, or something harder to categorise, it occupied a deliberate position on the hillside, with clear views south across the bay.
