What remains is modest to the point of near-invisibility: a poorly preserved oratory, a decorated lintel, and a bullaun stone, which is a large rock bearing one or more cup-shaped hollows, typically associated with early monastic sites and thought to have been used for grinding or for ritual purposes. The site looks westward across a wide open prospect towards Portmagee Channel, a view that would have been familiar to whoever chose this spot, likely for the same reasons early Christian communities often favoured elevated, liminal ground.

In the 1930s, the Office of Public Works noted the foundations of what were probably beehive cells, the dry-stone corbelled structures used by early Irish monks as individual dwelling places. By the time the scholar Henry visited the site in 1957, only indistinct traces of buildings to the north of the oratory were discernible. Today, no surface trace of those additional structures survives at all. What persists is the oratory itself, or what is left of it, along with the decorated lintel and the bullaun, small details that gesture towards a once more complete monastic presence without offering much in the way of explanation. The site was documented in the archaeological survey of the Iveragh Peninsula compiled by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan, published by Cork University Press in 1996, which remains the primary scholarly record for this part of Kerry.
