This is a cashel, a type of ringfort built from dry-stone walling rather than earthen banks, and it comes with two clocháns, the beehive-shaped stone huts associated with early medieval settlement in the west of Ireland. What makes the site quietly arresting is how much of it has been reclaimed by grass and collapse, yet how legible it still is once you know what you are looking at.

The enclosure measures roughly 23.5 metres east to west and 19.5 metres north to south. Its surrounding wall has fared poorly over time: where it survives, it reaches only 1.25 metres in height and spreads to about 3 metres in width, the result of centuries of gradual tumble. In the northern quadrant the wall has vanished entirely, and the boundary of the enclosure is now marked only by a slight step up of about a metre in the ground level outside. A gap of around 3 metres on the east-south-east side is thought to be the original entrance. Inside the enclosure, two circular huts sit close together in the south-western portion, one abutting the cashel wall, the other conjoined to its northern side. The larger hut measured roughly 6.5 by 5.5 metres internally; the smaller had an internal diameter of about 6 metres. Both are now reduced to low, grassy, stony banks, but between them a narrow gap of 75 centimetres marks what was once a communicating passage, and each structure also had its own independent entrance, one facing east-south-east, the other facing south-east. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region.
