Local knowledge recorded it years ago, placed it in the south-western corner of a large ancient enclosure known as Lisnakilla, or Lios na Cille, but today no trace of it is visible above ground. A souterrain, which is a stone-lined underground passage typically associated with early medieval settlement and used for storage or refuge, has simply been swallowed back into the landscape.

The enclosure itself survives in better condition. It sits less than a kilometre north of Anascaul on a north-east facing slope, roughly two hundred metres west of the Owenascaul river, and its shape is subrectangular rather than the more commonly encountered circular or oval form. Within its boundaries, the foundations of several rectangular house sites are still legible on the ground, suggesting this was once a settled and organised domestic space rather than a purely defensive or ceremonial one. The Irish name, Lios na Cille, meaning something close to the fort or enclosure of the church or cell, hints at a possible ecclesiastical connection, though the site's full history remains only partially understood. The enclosure was documented as part of J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a thorough regional study that brought many such sites into the formal record for the first time.
