What survives here is not a single ruin but a cluster of five drystone buildings, and around them, spreading outwards across the hillside, the ghost outlines of cultivation ridges and field boundaries. What makes the group quietly strange is a detail in the ground itself: those broad ridges, wherever they meet the buildings, curve around them. The farmers who worked this land shaped their tillage to fit the structures rather than the other way around, which suggests the buildings were already present, already fixed points in the landscape, when the fields were being worked.

The most northerly of the five is a corbelled circular hut, a type of construction in which stones are laid in overlapping courses that gradually close inward to form a domed or vaulted roof without mortar or timber. This one measures just over five metres across and survives to a height of 1.1 metres, with walls nearly two metres thick. Its eastern half has been badly denuded and the interior is now scattered with collapsed stone, but a wall-niche cut into the western interior wall is still legible. A short stretch of field wall sits a few metres to the south-south-west. The scholar Henry, writing in 1957, mentioned a second hut in this vicinity, and this fragment of walling may correspond to that reference. About 170 metres to the south-east lies a possible corn-drying kiln, a small stone-built structure used to dry grain before milling, which may have served the same farming community that lived and worked around these buildings. Together, the cluster points to a self-contained agricultural settlement occupying a sheltered, well-drained hillside with a clear view down to the entrance of Portmagee Channel.
