A cahir, the Irish term for a stone-built ringfort, a roughly circular enclosure defined by a dry-stone bank rather than an earthen rampart, was recorded clearly on the earlier map and had been almost entirely levelled by the time the later surveyors came through. What remains today is a fragment: a low arc of stone bank surviving on the northern to eastern side, between two and four metres wide at its base and barely forty centimetres high, enclosing a space whose full original diameter can no longer be measured.

The structure was a univallate example, meaning it had a single enclosing wall rather than the concentric double or triple rings found at more elaborate sites. Ringforts of this kind were typically built during the early medieval period, serving as enclosed farmsteads for a single family or small household. The stone variant, the cahir or cashel, was common in areas where loose fieldstone was plentiful, as it is across much of Kerry. Within the surviving interior, specifically in the north-eastern sector, there are two raised mounds that complicate any simple reading of the site. The larger of the two measures roughly six metres by five metres and stands about a metre high; a smaller mound nearby, approximately two metres by three metres and eighty centimetres high, sits to its north-west. Whether these represent the collapsed remains of internal structures, accumulated rubble, or something else entirely is not recorded. The site was documented by C. Toal in the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995 by Brandon Press in association with FÁS.

The particular interest of this place lies less in what survives than in the speed of its disappearance. Seventy-odd years separated a clear cartographic record from near-total obliteration, a span well within living memory at the time. The two interior mounds, sitting quietly in the ruined northeast corner, are the most substantial physical evidence that a more complete enclosure once stood here.
