The site is marked by a raised stony area measuring roughly 14 metres north to south and 8 metres east to west, with one short run of external drystone walling still standing to about 40 centimetres in height. Drystone construction, which uses no mortar, was common in early Irish building, and walls like this once stood as the outer faces of domestic structures across the peninsula. What survives here is too fragmentary to say with confidence what it once was.

Archaeologists working from the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, compiled by J. Cuppage, noted that the remains could represent either a single rectangular house or a pair of conjoined huts set side by side. Both forms are known from early medieval and earlier settlement in this part of Munster, where the landscape still carries a remarkable density of ancient occupation. The difficulty is that the evidence simply does not settle the question. The dimensions are suggestive of something purposeful and domestic, but the collapse and spread of the stonework have reduced the plan to little more than an outline in the ground.
