The combination is unusual enough to pause over. Ringforts, which are enclosed farmsteads typically dating from the early medieval period, are common across Ireland, but the survival of stone structures inside them, alongside what appear to be sunken features beneath, makes this particular example worth closer attention.

The site is a univallate ringfort, meaning it has a single enclosing bank rather than the multiple concentric rings found at more elaborate examples. Here, that bank is described as well-defined, built from earth and stone, and is touched on its eastern and western sides by two fieldbanks running through the same field. Inside, positioned in the northern part of the enclosure, is an oval stone house site. About two metres to its west sits a second, sub-oval structure, measuring roughly 3.8 metres north to south and four metres east to west, with walls between 0.6 and one metre thick. Directly beneath both stone structures are two rectangular depressions, one measuring four by 4.8 metres and the other 4.8 by 4.6 metres. Whether those depressions represent earlier phases of occupation, storage features, or something else entirely, the record does not say, but their presence beneath the standing structures gives the site a layered quality that goes beyond a simple farmstead enclosure. The detail was documented as part of the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995 by C. Toal.
