A cashel is a type of early medieval stone ringfort, its enclosing wall built from dry stone rather than the earthen banks more commonly seen elsewhere in Ireland, and in this case so much of that wall has vanished that its circular plan is only partially readable on the ground. What remains still holds enough detail to be genuinely interesting: two stone huts, an entrance passage oriented to the south-east, and something rather practical built into the fabric of the larger structure itself.

The site measures roughly 12.7 metres north to south and 14.2 metres east to west, making it a relatively modest enclosure. Just inside the south-east entrance are the remains of a smaller, subcircular hut, measuring about 2.5 by 1.8 metres internally, with walls nearly a metre thick where both faces can still be traced. To the west of this sits a second, larger hut with an internal diameter of up to 5.6 metres and walls around 1.5 metres thick, though these have not survived to any significant height. What makes this larger hut quietly remarkable is the presence of three small chambers built into the thickness of its wall, identified as possible sheep-shelters. This kind of practical modification, livestock accommodation folded into the very structure of an ancient enclosure, offers a glimpse into the long afterlife of such sites, reused and adapted by later farming communities long after their original occupants were gone. A second, narrower entrance passage on the north side of the hut measures just under a metre wide. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, a detailed survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region that remains a foundational reference for the area's early medieval remains.
