Where the boundaries of an ordinary Kerry field ought to run straight, they bow outward at two separate points, as though deferring to something older. That something was a ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead common across early medieval Ireland, typically consisting of a circular earthen bank, or rath, surrounding a domestic settlement. The enclosure here was univallate, meaning it had a single such bank, and it was recorded on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey map. It no longer survives in any meaningful sense, though the northeastern section of the bank persists as a low scarp, a slight ridge in the ground that most walkers would step over without a second thought.

The site sits in the south-western corner of a field, which is itself suggestive; ringforts that endure, even partially, often survive precisely because later farmers worked around them rather than through them. The curving field boundaries here may actually incorporate part of the original bank, the modern landscape quietly absorbing the older one. There is also a souterrain associated with the general area, a souterrain being an underground stone-lined passage often linked to ringforts and thought to serve as storage or refuge. Whether it belongs to this site specifically or to a closely related enclosure nearby has not been firmly established, the information coming from local knowledge rather than excavation. The site was documented by J. Cuppage as part of the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, published in 1986.
