At just 6.3 metres in diameter, it is a modest feature by any measure, yet its placement and construction give it a quiet distinctiveness on the Iveragh Peninsula.

The enclosure's wall has largely collapsed, and what remains is formed mainly of upright slabs, each averaging around half a metre in height. This method of construction, using set stones rather than dry-laid coursing, is a recurring technique in early Irish field monuments and suggests some antiquity, though the precise date of the structure has not been established. The fact that it abuts the adjacent site externally at the west, rather than being integrated into it, implies the two features may belong to different phases of activity, or served distinct functions. Archaeological survey of the Iveragh Peninsula, one of the most densely recorded landscapes in Munster, documented the site in a comprehensive study published by Cork University Press in 1996.
