Barely ten metres across, it would be easy to walk past without noticing it at all, and that is rather the point: this is a site defined as much by what it conceals as by what it shows.

The enclosure is roughly circular, measuring about ten metres east to west and just under nine and a half metres north to south. Its boundary is formed in two different ways: along the east-west arc, intermittent traces of a low earthen bank survive, no more than fifteen centimetres high and a metre wide; along the west-east upslope side, a more substantial eroded bank has been cut directly into the hillside, rising to around seventy centimetres. Inside, the ground level is actually raised along the southern arc, revetted, meaning supported and faced, by stone slabs, lifting it roughly a metre above the surrounding terrain. This combination of a cut bank on one side and a built-up, stone-revetted interior on the other suggests careful management of the slope rather than a casual boundary. Enclosures of this kind are found throughout upland Cork and Kerry, often interpreted as small stock enclosures or as the domestic compounds of individual households, though dating them without excavation is rarely straightforward. Two associated hut sites lie nearby to the north-north-east and east-north-east, at roughly twenty-five metres and eighty-five metres respectively, hinting at a small cluster of activity on this hillside rather than an isolated feature.
