It is the kind of place that exists just outside official cartography, surviving as a low, heavily eroded bank of earth and gravel reinforced at its base with large stones. A modern field boundary cuts straight through it, dividing the site along a north-north-east to south-south-west line, which gives the whole thing a slightly dismembered quality, as though two different eras of land use are arguing quietly across the same ground.

What lifts this enclosure above the category of unremarkable earthwork is its eastern entrance. Two large upright stone slabs stand roughly 87 centimetres apart, aligned west-north-west to east-south-east, and both are rectangular in profile. They measure approximately 1.35 metres by 88 centimetres and 1.1 metres by 70 centimetres respectively, and are thin, at around 15 centimetres each. To the north of these, a third slab of similar alignment but irregular shape stands about a metre away, and a fourth slab abuts it at right angles on its southern side. The working interpretation is that these latter two formed part of the entrance structure as well, perhaps as a kind of short passage or threshold arrangement. The bank itself encloses an area roughly 13.5 metres north to south and 15.6 metres east to west, with an internal height reaching 1.5 metres at the northern arc and dropping to just half a metre on the outer face. No features survive in the interior. This type of small circular enclosure, defined by an earthen bank with a formal entrance, is a recognisable feature of the Irish early medieval landscape, often associated with settlement or stock management, though without excavation the function and date of any individual example remain open questions. The survey of the Iveragh Peninsula compiled by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan, published by Cork University Press in 1996, recorded this site as entry number 698.
