What makes this particular enclosure worth attention is a small contradiction built into its architecture: one of its hut-sites appears rectangular on the inside but curved on the outside, a quirk that survives even in the near-total collapse of its walls, which now stand no higher than a quarter of a metre at their tallest.

The site is a bivallate rath, meaning it is defended by two concentric earthen banks with a fosse, or ditch, running between them. Raths of this kind are the most common surviving field monuments in Ireland, typically interpreted as enclosed farmsteads of the early medieval period, though the term covers a long span of use. The subcircular interior here contains the remains of two hut-sites, and possibly a third. The north-western hut in particular retains enough of its plan to reveal that internal rectangular layout sitting within a curved outer wall-face, a building method that was not unusual in early Irish construction but which is rarely legible once a site has collapsed to this degree. The description of the monument draws on J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, the Dingle Peninsula study published under the title the survey gave to the whole area, which remains a foundational reference for the archaeology of this part of Kerry.

The location itself adds a particular quality to the remains. Set on a hillside with clear views along the Milltown river valley, the enclosure would have commanded a practical outlook for whoever lived within it, whether for watching grazing animals or simply for the orientation that elevated ground provides in a landscape as folded and various as the Dingle Peninsula.
