The site is a cahir, a type of stone-walled ringfort, and its form here is unusual: rather than a complete oval or circle, the enclosing bank curves in a crescent, with the western side left open and defended instead by a natural steep glen dropping away below. The grass-covered bank still reads clearly in the landscape, rising about a metre on the interior face and slightly less on the exterior.

Inside the enclosure, three corbelled stone huts, the kind known as clochans or beehive huts, are built flush against one another and interlocking, their walls sharing stonework in a way that suggests they were conceived as a cluster rather than added piecemeal. A clochan is a drystone structure corbelled inward course by course until the roof closes, relying on no mortar and no timber. Most of the stonework here has been swallowed by turf and vegetation, but exposed drystone masonry is still visible in the northernmost hut, which also retains the most readable dimensions: roughly 18 metres north to south internally, about 8 metres east to west, and standing between 1 and 3.2 metres high. A small opening of 3.4 metres faces southeast, and a separate 2.6-metre gap marks the entrance through the outer enclosing bank. The site was documented by C. Toal in the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995, which remains the principal source for this part of the county's early medieval field monuments.
