The cashel, a type of early Irish stone ringfort typically enclosing a farmstead or settlement, measures roughly 32.5 metres in diameter, making it a substantial structure despite its current condition.

What gives the site a layer of additional interest is a detail recorded by a researcher named McCaffrey in 1952. Along the inner face of the cashel wall, at the northern, south-eastern, and western sides, there were five small enclosures or lean-to structures pressed up against the interior. These kinds of features are sometimes interpreted as animal pens or subsidiary shelters, hints at the domestic organisation of whoever once lived within the stone circuit. Traces of them are still visible, which is quietly remarkable given how thoroughly the outer wall has been obscured. The site also has an associated souterrain, an underground passage or chamber typically cut from stone, which in early medieval Ireland served purposes ranging from storage to concealment.
