It is not a dramatic ruin by any conventional measure, perhaps half a metre high and a metre thick, but it extends eastward for around 70 metres before curving gradually northward for a further 55 metres, where it disappears into deeper bog in a low hollow. The wall is old enough, and the bog growth gradual enough, that much of it has been swallowed. What remains visible is only a portion of what was once a complete enclosure or land boundary.

Curvilinear field boundaries of this kind are often associated with early medieval farming settlements in Ireland, where rounded rather than rectilinear enclosures were the norm. The wall sits in rough hill pasture that has long since reverted to marginal land, suggesting that whoever built and maintained it was once working ground that later generations abandoned to the bog. What makes the location quietly compelling is the proximity of a megalithic structure roughly 50 metres to the south-east. Megalithic monuments, a broad category that includes portal tombs, wedge tombs, and standing stones, typically predate the medieval period by several thousand years. Whether the people who built this field boundary were aware of the older structure nearby, or whether the two features share any relationship beyond geography, is not recorded. The coincidence of an ancient monument and a later enclosure wall in the same small stretch of Kerry hillside is the kind of detail that tends to go unnoticed in the wider landscape.
