It is the kind of feature that could be walked past without a second glance, yet its careful construction tells a different story. The perimeter is defined by large stones and boulders, and on the eastern edge a dry-stone revetment, built up to four courses high, holds the raised interior in place against the natural slope. That interior platform measures roughly 20 metres east to west and 9 metres north to south, and in its northern and eastern corners it stands as much as a metre above the surrounding ground level, the gradient of the hillside itself doing much of the work.

The enclosure came to light not through systematic landscape survey but as a byproduct of planning for wind farm development in the area, when John Cronin and Associates identified it during pre-construction archaeological assessment work. It had not previously been recorded. A disused trackway runs upslope to the northwest, immediately east of the feature, hinting at an older working landscape that once organised movement across this part of the Kerry uplands. The enclosure is most likely post-medieval in date, a period broadly spanning the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, and its probable function was agricultural. Structures of this kind were sometimes built to create a sheltered, level, or well-drained working surface in otherwise difficult terrain, whether for fodder storage, animal management, or related farmwork. A second, less well-defined enclosure of similar character lies approximately 25 metres to the west, suggesting this corner of the hillside was organised with some deliberate intent, even if the details of that organisation are no longer recoverable.
