Cartographers working in the 1890s recorded it clearly enough: an embanked enclosure, roughly circular, approximately sixty metres in diameter. Today, the bank itself has largely disappeared beneath the vegetation, and scattered surface stones are about all that break through to suggest anything deliberate was ever laid out here.

The 1895 Ordnance Survey six-inch map is the firmest evidence for what this site once looked like, marking it as a defined embanked enclosure of the kind that appears across early Irish landscapes in various forms, sometimes surrounding a settlement, sometimes a farmstead, sometimes a space whose original purpose is no longer legible. Without excavation, the date and function of this particular example remain open questions. What can be said is that it sits in a position with clear orientation toward Dingle Bay, on ground that would have been visible and accessible from the coastal plain below. The gorse that now obscures it is a relatively recent coloniser of abandoned or under-grazed land, meaning the enclosure may have been a visible and functional feature of this hillside for far longer than the vegetation suggests.
