The site is a univallate rath, meaning an enclosure bounded by a single earthen bank and fosse, or ditch, of the kind built across Ireland during the early medieval period as a farmstead or defended homestead. What makes this example quietly remarkable is the internal complexity: three confirmed stone-walled circular huts connected by short passages, and possibly a fourth marked by a mound in the southern sector, all sitting within a circular interior that faces gently eastward and offers a wide view in every direction.

The arrangement of the huts suggests a deliberate, organised use of the enclosed space. The easternmost hut is the largest, at roughly 7.6 metres in internal diameter, entered through a narrow gap of about 0.85 metres facing east. A short passage of around 0.9 metres connected it to a middle hut approximately 5 metres across, which in turn communicated with a smaller western hut of about 3.4 metres diameter via a slightly longer passage running to the southeast. When archaeologists cut a trench through the site in 1968, running from the rath entrance to the easternmost hut and along the inner wall-faces of three structures, they found evidence of paved paths between the huts and from the eastern hut to the entrance. None of that paving is visible today, though the trench itself appears to retain some stone facing. The spoil from the 1968 investigation was simply heaped to either side, which means the excavation left its own mark on the landscape. The surviving walls stand no more than about 0.2 metres high. The site was documented in detail by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, and it carries a preservation order dating to 1958.
