The remains are so collapsed and disturbed that even basic classification has proved difficult, but what survives includes the ruins of three or four clocháns, the dry-stone beehive huts associated with early Irish monasticism, along with three separate piles of stones that may once have served as penitential stations, points at which pilgrims would pause to pray, kneel, or perform acts of penance during a ritual circuit.

The site takes its name from a turas, a devotional pilgrimage route traditionally performed on foot, often in bare feet, between a series of sacred stopping points. This particular turas was still being walked within living memory, and it incorporated a visit to Tobar Fhlainn, a holy well, a spring or water source considered sacred and associated with a named saint, situated at the base of the sea-cliffs roughly 500 metres to the north. The combination of the turas tradition, the likely clocháns, and a local memory of a church on the site all point toward an early ecclesiastical origin, though the ruined state of the remains makes any firm interpretation elusive. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, a substantial regional study of the Corca Dhuibhne area.

The field itself is crossed by both an ancient trackway and a more recently excavated one, which hints at long continuity of movement through this particular patch of ground, people finding their way across the same slope across very different centuries. The outline of a second structure is just barely discernible in an area of stone collapse adjoining one of the main ruined clocháns, its shape and dimensions too uncertain to say anything definitive. What remains is quiet, ambiguous, and quietly worn by use.
