Locally called a caher, the Irish term for a stone ringfort, it shows none of the enclosing circular wall that defines that type of monument. No trace of one survives, and nothing in the ground suggests there ever was one. What remains instead is something quieter and harder to classify: the overgrown foundations of a small rectangular house, sitting unremarked on rough pasture and absent from Ordnance Survey mapping entirely.

The house foundations are 1.3 metres wide, with an interior measuring roughly six metres by five, making it a modest structure by any standard. The inner face of the walls was built from upright stone slabs, each averaging about 75 centimetres long, while the outer face appears in roughly coursed masonry where it can still be read. A southern entrance, framed by two upright slabs set 80 centimetres apart, has survived. A later field wall cuts straight across the interior, bisecting the building, and the eastern half is now choked with stone debris. Abutting the site to the north is the trace of an old field system, suggesting this was once part of a small working landscape rather than an isolated structure. Local tradition also holds that a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage of the kind often associated with early medieval settlement and used variously for storage or refuge, once opened at the south side of the house. No entrance is visible now.

The site sits on the Iveragh Peninsula and was surveyed as part of a comprehensive archaeological study of south Kerry published in 1996 by A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan. Its absence from OS maps means there is no cartographic prompt to look for it, and its low overgrown profile makes it easy to pass without recognition. The combination of the misapplied local name, the vanished souterrain, and the bisecting field wall gives the place the feeling of something gradually being absorbed back into the land around it.
