In reality, the structure is gone. What marks the spot now is a roughly circular patch of rough ground, somewhere between sixteen and eighteen metres across, dense with reeds. The reeds are, in their way, the site's most legible feature.

Circular enclosures of this kind are a common enough form in the Irish landscape, often associated with early medieval settlement, though they vary considerably in purpose and date. This one was recorded at approximately one chain, or around twenty metres, in diameter. It sat at the foot of the southern slopes of Knockmoylemore, positioned to overlook the low-lying land surrounding Trabeg. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, by which point the physical structure had already been lost. What Cuppage recorded was essentially an absence, mapped and measured.

The wet, reedy ground that remains is itself informative. Enclosures like this were often sited with careful attention to the surrounding terrain, and the low-lying, marshy land around Trabeg would have made the slightly elevated foot of the slope a practical and defensible position. The reeds now filling the interior may reflect the same drainage conditions that made the location attractive in the first place, ground that holds water, ground that resists easy development, and perhaps for that reason has preserved even this faint outline of something that was once deliberately built.
