What survives is enough to read the shape of the thing: a caher, the Irish term for a stone-walled ringfort, roughly nineteen metres across internally, its enclosing wall still standing in places to a height of 1.5 metres. Built from drystone masonry, with inner and outer facing enclosing a rubble core, it is the kind of construction that demanded both skill and communal effort, and that was meant to last. A gap in the wall at the south-east, through which a trackway still runs, is likely where the original entrance once stood.

Within the interior, a dense concentration of loose stone in the eastern section forms a rough rectangular patch measuring roughly 3.7 by 3.5 metres. This may be the remains of a rectangular hut, the kind of domestic structure commonly found inside such enclosures. Local tradition also holds that a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage often used for storage or refuge, lies somewhere at the site, though its precise location has never been confirmed. The wall itself has not only suffered from time and weather; stone from the caher was reused in the construction of nearby houses, a fate common to many such sites across Ireland, where ancient masonry became a practical resource for later generations.

The site sits on a terrace that gives it a natural vantage over Darrynane Bay to the south, a position that would have made good sense to whoever first enclosed this ground. The overgrowth and collapse make it a difficult site to read clearly on the ground, and the unconfirmed souterrain adds an unresolved quality to any visit, the sense that the site has not yet given up everything it contains.
