What was once a univallate enclosure, meaning a site defined by a single surrounding bank or wall, has been largely absorbed into the modern field system, yet its original shape has not entirely disappeared. Two sides of the structure have been replaced by straight field walls, but along the south-eastern arc, one of those walls still curves north-eastward, quietly tracing the line of the ancient boundary beneath it. A low mound continues that curve around the north-eastern section, completing the ghost of an oval roughly 31 metres across.

The site is recorded under the name Cathair Boilg, a name that places it within a tradition of early enclosed settlements along the Dingle Peninsula. The word cathair in Irish generally refers to a stone-built ringfort or enclosure, a type of settlement common across Kerry and found in considerable numbers on the Corca Dhuibhne peninsula in particular. Whether this example was a domestic farmstead, a more defensively minded enclosure, or something else entirely is not easily answered from what survives above ground. The site was documented as part of a systematic archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula compiled by J. Cuppage and published in 1986, which recorded it among hundreds of monuments scattered across this archaeologically dense corner of the country.
