A cashel, broadly speaking, is a stone-walled ringfort, and a beehive hut, or clochán, is a corbelled dry-stone structure whose courses of stone overlap inward until they meet at the top, forming a domed interior without mortar. Finding three of them together, interlocked, within a single enclosure is the kind of detail that rewards anyone willing to cross the three fields needed to reach it.

The site sits on what the land itself seems to have shaped into a defensive position. The western side is naturally protected by a steep glen, which would have reduced the amount of artificial banking required on that flank. The enclosing stone bank that remains rises to about a metre on the interior side and just under a metre on the exterior, and a 2.6-metre-wide gap in the bank marks what was presumably the original entrance. Inside, the three huts are arranged in an interlocking cluster measuring roughly 18 metres north to south and around 8 metres east to west, with walls still standing between one and 3.2 metres high in places. A separate small opening, 3.4 metres wide, is visible to the south-east. The most legible stonework survives in the northernmost of the three huts, where the drystone construction is clearest. The site was recorded and described in the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, compiled by C. Toal and published in 1995.
