The site at Baile An Bhogaigh sits on a south-east facing slope overlooking Ballynasare, and were it not for a gentle curve in the surviving field fence to the south-east, there would be almost nothing left to suggest that any structure had ever stood here at all. That curve is thought to preserve the approximate line of the original enclosing bank, the last faint trace of a form that once had a diameter of around 30 metres.

The monument was classified as a univallate enclosure, meaning it was defined by a single surrounding bank or wall rather than the multiple concentric rings found at more elaborate sites. Such enclosures are common across Kerry and the broader Irish landscape, typically associated with early medieval settlement and farming, though the precise date and function of any individual example is rarely simple to determine without excavation. This particular one was recorded in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, compiled by J. Cuppage, where it appeared as a legible feature on Ordnance Survey maps. Sometime between that survey and more recent observation, land improvement work removed the field fences in the area, and with them the fort itself. The archaeology was not the target; it was simply in the way.
