It does not appear on Ordnance Survey maps, yet it sits in plain sight on the summit of a low rise in rough pasture, overlooking the estuary of the Sneem river. What you are looking at, if you know to look, is a cashel, the term used in Kerry and elsewhere for a ringfort enclosed by a stone wall rather than an earthen bank. Ringforts were the typical farmsteads of early medieval Ireland, occupied roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries, and this one measures just over twenty-two metres across at its widest, making it a modest but coherent example of the type.

The enclosing wall has lost most of its original height, worn down over the centuries until it sits almost level with the interior, reading now as a sod-covered stone bank rather than a standing structure. At its best-preserved point on the north side, it reaches just under a metre in external height, and here the construction is still legible: rough drystone masonry, with slabs set on edge as intermittent revetment. The entrance on the east side is particularly well-defined, a gap of about two and a half metres whose sides are faced with upright slabs, a detail that suggests some care in the original build. Inside, a modern fence cuts across the site, a reminder of the working farmland it has become, but closer to the centre a semicircular arc of neatly coursed drystone walling survives, roughly four metres across internally. This is likely the remains of a small hut, its wall now only fifteen centimetres high but still showing the quality of its construction in the tight, even coursing of the stonework.
