Two concentric earthen or stone banks, a form known as a bivallate rath, surround the site, the outer ring acting as a secondary line of enclosure around the inner settlement. Raths of this kind are relatively common across Ireland, but the presence of the hut structures within, still partially legible in stone, gives this one a more domestic intimacy than the earthwork alone would suggest.

The arrangement may have been more complex than it first appears. A stretch of collapsed walling extends roughly 7.8 metres westward from near the southern wall of the main structure, then turns northward before merging with a scatter of stones that archaeologists believe represents the remains of a second hut. Whether this was a separate dwelling or an adjoining yard serving the primary hut is not resolved; only a few stones of the outer wall face remain visible, and the full outline cannot be traced. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, a comprehensive study of the Corca Dhuibhne region that recorded hundreds of monuments across the peninsula, many of them in similarly ambiguous states of survival.
