The enclosure measures 37 metres across internally, and though the wall is badly degraded, a dense apron of collapse up to 10 metres wide still encircles the interior, giving the whole structure an unexpectedly broad footprint on the ground. What makes this particular cashel quietly odd is the layering of time visible on its surface: a modern field wall has been built along the inner face for much of its circumference, making it genuinely difficult to tell, at a glance, which stones belong to the early medieval enclosure and which were added by later farmers working the same ground.

The site was documented in detail by J. Cuppage as part of the Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey published in 1986. At that point the outer drystone face was still legible along the north-east quadrant, rising to about 0.9 metres, and the stepped construction of the inner wall was clearest at the south-south-east, where a lower step of 0.15 metres in height and 0.45 metres wide survives beneath a further 0.7 metres of wall above it. Inside the enclosure, grass-grown mounds of collapse in the west-north-west sector outline the remains of at least one hut, with the suggestion of a second immediately to its south-west. A third possible hut site, a disturbed scatter of stones south-east of the centre, may equally be clearance debris. Within the walling of the first hut, the removal of a roofing slab had already exposed a short section of souterrain, an underground passage typically used for storage or refuge, running roughly north to south and possibly turning west at its northern end; it is only about 0.66 metres wide and nearly filled with debris, and is now inaccessible. At some point before the 1986 survey, a trench had been cut through the collapsed walling from the north around to the west, raiding the rubble for building stone, though the dressed face material appears to have survived this disturbance largely intact.
