What makes the site quietly peculiar is the density of what surrounds it: the Gallarus Oratory, one of the best-preserved early Christian oratories in Ireland, sits roughly 50 metres to the west, and the Saint's Road, an ancient pilgrimage route towards Mount Brandon, passes fewer than 100 metres to the east. This is not an isolated curiosity; it is a place embedded in a whole web of early medieval activity.

The ringfort itself is univallate, meaning it has a single enclosing bank or wall, and roughly circular in plan. Inside, two stone huts have collapsed inward over centuries, their walls now reduced to low, spread banks of rubble reaching up to about 1.3 metres in height. The larger of the two, in the north-east of the enclosure, measures approximately 5.3 metres across internally; the smaller south-western structure is around 3.8 metres. No evidence of original entrances survives in either. More intriguing still is the souterrain, a type of underground stone-built passage found on many early medieval Irish sites, often interpreted as a place for storage or refuge. Here, the only visible access is a small square opening, roughly half a metre across, sitting on the crest of the enclosing bank at the north-north-east. Peering through it, one can make out what appears to be an L-shaped passage built in drystone, with walls about half a metre high capped by at least two flat slabs. Each arm of the passage extends only about a metre before it is blocked, making it an unusually short example of the type. The opening sits directly above the junction of the two sections, which are aligned north-east to south-west and south-east to north-west respectively. This arrangement was first recorded in J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula.

The site sits below the pass between Reenconnell and Lateevemore, on terrain that rewards careful footing. The aperture into the souterrain is small enough to be easy to overlook, and the hut remains read more as grassy mounds than obvious structures from a distance. Looking west from the enclosure towards Gallarus, and east towards the Saint's Road, it is possible to get a sense of how layered and deliberately populated this particular stretch of the Dingle Peninsula once was.
