That the wall has survived at all owes something to the bog itself, which has a habit of preserving what it slowly consumes. The enclosure measures roughly 4.7 metres north-east to south-west, with a straight north-eastern side running about 4.9 metres, and the remaining wall, though fallen, still stands roughly half a metre above the bog surface and about 0.7 metres thick.

What makes the structure quietly notable is a detail of its construction. The northern portion of the interior was deliberately cut into the upslope to a depth of around 0.4 metres, an effort to level the ground within a naturally uneven hillside. This kind of practical earthworking, compensating for a gradient by cutting into it, speaks to careful, intentional use of the space, even if its precise purpose remains unclear. The enclosure sits within a wider field system in the same area, suggesting it was once part of an organised agricultural landscape, perhaps used for sheltering animals or storing goods, though nothing in what survives confirms a specific function. Drystone construction, which uses no mortar and relies entirely on the careful fitting of stones, was common across rural Kerry for centuries and requires no specialist tools, only patience and a good eye for how stones sit together.
