A rath is a ringfort, typically an enclosed farmstead of the early medieval period, defined by one or more earthen banks thrown up around a central living area. Here, that bank survives only in fragments, eroded and broken open in places, but enough remains to trace the outline of what was once a settled and organised space.

Within the enclosure there are traces of a circular hut and a souterrain, the latter being an underground passage or chamber, often stone-lined, which in early Irish contexts served variously for storage, refuge, or both. What makes this particular site a little more layered is that occupation did not stop at the bank. Outside the enclosure, in the west-northwest sector, a spread of stones rises between roughly 0.4 and 0.7 metres above the surrounding ground level, and within that raised area are traces of two possible hut sites. The northernmost is marked by a rectangular hollow, defined along its eastern and western edges by low stones, measuring approximately five metres on the northwest-to-southeast axis and three metres across. It is a modest footprint, domestic in scale, suggesting the kind of ancillary settlement that sometimes accumulated around a primary enclosure. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a systematic effort to record the remarkable density of early remains across that landscape.
