It sits in rough grazing land with Ballinskelligs Bay visible to the east, and most people who pass through the area will never know it is there. What marks the site out is not its size, which is modest, roughly ten metres across its longest axis, but the unusual arrangement of standing stones at its north-eastern edge. Four upright stones flank a break in the enclosing bank in two parallel pairs, one set oriented north-east to south-west, another set 1.4 metres further out oriented east to west. They may have formed an elaborate entrance feature, a kind of stone threshold or portico, though their precise purpose remains uncertain.

The enclosure itself is a low, grass-grown bank of earth and stone, only about thirty centimetres high and sixty centimetres wide, enclosing an interior where no clearly defined structures survive. A single irregular upright stands at the south, set at right angles to the bank line. Inside, a number of low, irregular stony mounds are present, though what they represent is not established. Sites of this kind on the Iveragh Peninsula are sometimes associated with early medieval settlement or farming activity, and an enclosure of roughly this scale and construction would not be out of place in that broad context, though nothing in what survives here pins it to a specific period or function. The site was documented by Aidan O'Sullivan and John Sheehan as part of their archaeological survey of the Iveragh Peninsula, published by Cork University Press in 1996.
