The wall survives best on the western side, where it still stands 0.7 metres high and extends 7.5 metres in width, a substantial construction of dry-stacked rubble with occasional upright slabs threaded through it. What makes the site quietly unusual is the interior: rather than the flat ground you might expect within a walled enclosure, the space inside is noticeably raised, built up by the slow collapse of stonework over centuries. The most concentrated area of this rubble mound measures roughly 12 metres north to south by 11 metres east to west, rising about half a metre above the surrounding ground. Within that jumble, researchers have identified what may be the remnant of a stone hut, with a wall thickness of around 2 metres and a possible entrance just over a metre wide facing north.

The site sits 30 metres north of a small stream on land that tilts gently southward, and its position is not accidental. To the south and south-west, the Sliabh Mis mountains fill the horizon, and the views open broadly to the east and west as well. Only to the north does the ground close in, rising towards an area now known as Monument Wood. This relationship between enclosures and the wider landscape of the Lee Valley near Tralee was examined by archaeologist Michael Connolly in his 2008 doctoral thesis for University College Cork, which situates sites like this within the broader patterns of prehistoric settlement in the region. An enclosure of this kind, a roughly circular or sub-circular walled area without any surrounding ditch, is a form found widely across prehistoric Ireland, used variously for settlement, agriculture, or purposes that remain debated. The absence of a ditch here, either inside or outside the bank, is a detail worth noting; ditches are common features of such enclosures elsewhere, and their absence sometimes signals a different function or a different period of construction.
