Its wall, built from stones of various sizes and partly resting directly on the bare rock beneath, stands just 0.65 metres high and 1.25 metres wide, enclosing a modest area of roughly 10 by 7 metres. Against its southern side, a pile of field clearance debris has accumulated, the kind of slow accumulation that happens when farmers move stones off workable ground over generations.

Enclosures of this type on the Iveragh Peninsula present an interpretive puzzle. The D-shape, formed when a straight or naturally occurring rock face serves as one side of a boundary, is a recurring feature in the Irish landscape, appearing in contexts ranging from early medieval settlement to post-medieval farming activity. Without excavation it is difficult to assign a confident date or function to a structure like this one. It may have served as a small animal pen, a garden plot, or the remnant of a more substantial settlement feature whose other elements have long since been robbed for building material or lost to vegetation. What is clear is that someone, at some point, found it worth the considerable effort of gathering and stacking stone on this rocky hillside above the Iveragh landscape.
