The site is a bivallate rath, meaning a roughly circular enclosure defined by two concentric earthen banks with a ditch, or fosse, running between them. Inside, the remains of what were probably two or three hut-sites survive, though the north-eastern portion of the interior has collapsed into a broad scatter of stone that complicates any clear reading of what once stood there.

One structure can be measured with some confidence: roughly two metres by two and a half metres internally, with ruined walling still reaching around forty centimetres in height. The dimensions are telling, because they are simply too small to have served as a dwelling. The more likely explanation is that someone, at some point after the rath had fallen out of use, gathered up the tumbled stonework and fashioned a sheep-shelter from it, the kind of practical recycling that was common in upland Kerry for centuries. What survives, then, may be less a hut than a palimpsest: the ghost of an earlier structure reshaped by later agricultural need. The rath itself overlooks the valley of the Milltown river, with clear views stretching along the valley floor, a position that would have made it useful for anyone wanting to monitor movement through the landscape. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a detailed catalogue of the region's extraordinary concentration of prehistoric and early medieval remains.
