The structure is modest in scale, roughly five and a half metres across, with a wall that has slumped to around sixty centimetres in both thickness and height. A possible entrance, just forty centimetres wide, faces south-east. Nothing announces it. There is no signage, no path worn toward it, and no obvious reason, at first glance, to pause.

Enclosures of this kind, built from drystone, meaning stone laid without mortar and relying on careful stacking for stability, appear throughout Kerry and the wider Irish landscape in considerable numbers. They are not easy to date without excavation. Some are early medieval, associated with small farmsteads or animal pens. Others may be prehistoric. A few served as enclosures for specific uses, such as protecting a cultivated plot or containing livestock on common ground. The location at Inchincoosh, overlooking a stream valley on open hill ground, is consistent with any of these possibilities. The scatter of loose stones inside and around the exterior suggests the wall was once more substantial, and that time and perhaps the removal of stones for other purposes have reduced it to what survives today.
