What makes this site quietly unusual is the layering of the uncertain: stony banks that might mark hut floors, a raised central area that appears to be entirely natural, and a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage typically used for storage or refuge, that is known only by repute. Most of the features here ask more questions than they answer.

The site is known locally as Lios na Rátha Áirde, or Lisnarahardin in its anglicised form, and it takes the form of a bivallate rath, meaning a roughly circular enclosure defined by two concentric banks and ditches. Raths of this kind were the farmsteads of early medieval Ireland, inhabited from roughly the fifth to the twelfth centuries, though many were built on ground with much older associations. Within the outer banks, the interior is dominated by a circular raised platform measuring around 20.5 metres across, which surveys suggest is a natural feature of the terrain rather than anything constructed. Clustered on this mound are stony banks that may represent the remains of three or four hut-sites, though only one is clearly legible on the ground. The site was recorded by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a systematic effort to document the remarkable density of ancient remains in that part of Kerry.
