What survives is a univallate rath, meaning a circular enclosure defined by a single earthen or stone bank, with a ruined circular hut sitting at its centre. Raths of this type were a common form of enclosed farmstead in early medieval Ireland, typically associated with a single family or household, though their precise dates and uses varied considerably. This one is unusual not for any grand scale but for the clarity with which its basic arrangement can still be read.

The central hut measures eight metres in diameter internally, with a wall that survives to roughly forty centimetres in height and runs about a metre in width. Those are modest dimensions, but they are enough to give a sense of the original structure: a round stone building, centrally placed within its enclosing bank, of the kind that would have sheltered people and perhaps animals across several centuries of early Irish rural life. The site was recorded as part of the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, published in 1986 under the editorship of J. Cuppage, a survey that documented the extraordinary concentration of prehistoric and early historic monuments across this westerly peninsula in County Kerry.
