What survives is the spread remains of a cashel, the Irish term for a stone-walled ringfort, circular enclosures that once served as defended farmsteads during the early medieval period. This one has an internal diameter of seventeen metres, with the wall reduced now to a rubble spread averaging three and a half metres wide. A few facing stones survive on the exterior at the south-west, enough to suggest how the structure once looked, and a gap at the north-east, measuring nearly four metres across, may preserve the line of the original entrance, though widened over time.

What makes the site quietly arresting is not so much what remains of the cashel itself but the density of similar structures immediately around it. A later field wall has been built directly across the old enclosure, running from north-west to north-east, and two smaller enclosures sit just twenty and forty metres to the north. Within the same field system, at least three further cashels are recorded nearby: a largely collapsed example around 140 metres to the north-west, the larger and named cashel Caherfeenagh roughly 140 metres to the south-east, and the cliff-edge fort known as Lismacsheedy about 440 metres further south-east. The Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of both 1842 and 1915 mark the enclosure with a solid line, meaning its outline was legible to surveyors even then, though subsequent centuries of agricultural use have done their work on the fabric. This valley, tucked into the Burren landscape, appears to have supported a remarkably concentrated pattern of enclosed settlement, the individual sites now half-dissolved back into the rock from which they were built.
