It was marked clearly on the first edition as a circular univallate enclosure, meaning a single-walled stone fort, but by the time the second edition was drawn it had been omitted entirely, a small sign of how dramatically the site had been disturbed in the intervening decades of the mid-nineteenth century. Today it sits in forestry on top of a natural rise above a small river, half-swallowed by undergrowth, its enclosing wall largely collapsed outward, yet still legible enough to reward a careful eye.

The structure is a caher, the Irish term for a ringfort built of dry-stone walling rather than an earthen bank, and this example on the Iveragh Peninsula measures roughly 21 metres north to south and 27 metres east to west internally. The southern sector of its wall was built directly onto a bedrock outcrop and still rises about a metre above the surrounding ground, with lines of upright basal slabs surviving along stretches of the inner and outer faces. What makes the interior particularly puzzling is the number of features whose purpose remains unresolved. A semicircular area of stone collapse abuts the inner wall face at the south-east, the entire north-west quadrant of the site has been artificially raised by nearly a metre above the rest of the interior, and close to the southern edge of that raised platform sits a row of edge-set slabs forming an L-shaped arrangement. None of these features has been satisfactorily explained. Outside the main wall to the west, a crudely built but substantial secondary wall runs for 13 metres, and at its southern end are the collapsed foundations of a tiny circular structure barely 1.6 metres across internally. Whether this outer wall and its small outbuilding belong to the same period of use as the caher proper is not known.
