A cashel is a stone-walled ringfort, the kind of enclosed farmstead that was common across early medieval Ireland, and what remains here is fragmentary enough that the site reads more as a puzzle than a monument. A straight townland boundary wall has absorbed the south-western sector entirely, while the south-eastern edge is marked not by any surviving masonry but by a scarp, a natural-looking step in the ground that drops some sixty to seventy centimetres below the surrounding field level. Several large boulders scattered along that scarp may once have formed part of the original wall before it was robbed out or collapsed.

The details recorded by archaeologist J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey give a sense of just how much has been lost and how much can still be read. The enclosure measures 26 metres in internal diameter. Where the wall does survive along the northern arc, it presents itself in two different ways: as a low grass-grown bank with stones just visible at the surface, and as a discontinuous line of larger stones, some still standing upright to about 86 centimetres, others tilted on their edges, others collapsed entirely. At the eastern end, two parallel standing stones likely mark the inner and outer faces of the original wall, and the distance between them, just 80 centimetres, suggests a wall that was relatively modest in thickness compared with the more substantial cashels found elsewhere on the Dingle Peninsula. Inside, the ground appears to have been arranged on two levels. On the upper terrace, a small circular hut-site sits against the western enclosing bank, its interior just 4.3 metres across. The drystone inner face of this structure survives to nearly 60 centimetres in places, though the eastern half has been reduced to little more than a faint grassy ridge, with the entrance presumed to have opened somewhere in that direction.
