A cashel is simply a stone-walled ringfort, a form of enclosed settlement common across early medieval Ireland, and this one looks out across Tralee Bay towards Kerry Head and Tralee, and down the length of the Glannagalt river valley. It is the kind of site you could walk past without fully registering what you were looking at, the enclosing wall having largely collapsed or vanished, particularly along the southern half of the enclosure.

Three stone huts once stood within the cashel walls, and traces of all three survive in varying degrees of ruin. The most substantial, roughly four metres across internally, sits at the centre of the enclosure. Its northern wall still stands to just over a metre in height, and built against its inner face is a small lintelled chamber, a covered niche formed by laying flat stones across upright ones, which was most likely used as a shelter for sheep or lambs. The second hut lies directly to the south, reduced to a low band of collapsed stone enclosing a roughly circular area of about three metres in diameter. A third feature, a circular depression of similar size, adjoins the eastern side of the second hut, surrounded by grass-grown rubble. The enclosing wall itself is drystone construction, meaning no mortar was used, and measures between 1.2 and 1.3 metres wide. In the northwest quadrant, both the inner and outer wall faces are still traceable for much of their length, giving a clearer sense of the original structure than the rest of the site allows. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, published under the title Corca Dhuibhne.
