Inside its earthen bank and fosse, the classic enclosure of a univallate rath, the circular interior holds the remains of at least three stone huts connected to one another by short paved passages, with a possible fourth hut marked by a low mound in the southern sector. It is the arrangement that makes this site unusual: not one household space but a cluster of interconnected rooms, each accessed through the next, suggesting a deliberate and rather considered domestic or communal layout from the early medieval period.

The internal detail of the huts was revealed during an investigation in 1968, when a trench was cut from the rath entrance to the easternmost structure and along the inner wall-face of the southern half of three of the buildings. The eastern hut is the largest, approximately 7.6 metres in internal diameter, with a narrow entrance of around 0.85 metres on its eastern side. The middle hut is roughly 5 metres across, connected to the eastern hut by a short passage of about 0.9 metres. The western hut, the smallest at around 3.4 metres in diameter, was reached from the middle hut through a passage of approximately 1.2 metres running to the southeast. The walls surviving above ground reach no more than 0.2 metres in height, and the paved passages and the paved path that once led from the eastern hut to the rath entrance are no longer visible at the surface, though the trench cut in 1968 appears to be stone-faced in places. The site was documented in J. Cuppage's 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, which remains one of the more thorough regional surveys of its kind in Ireland. A souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage typically used for storage or refuge in early medieval settlements, was also recorded within the enclosure, adding further complexity to a site that repays careful attention on the ground.
