No monument symbol, no special marking, just the outline of an enclosure that happened to be slightly curved on one side. That curve, it turns out, is the surviving ghost of an early medieval ringfort, a rath, one of the thousands of roughly circular earthwork enclosures built across Ireland during the first millennium AD as farmsteads and defended homesteads. What the maps recorded as a field boundary was, in part, an original earthen bank still standing 1.4 metres high on its outer face, though reduced to just half a metre on the inside.

The rath is univallate, meaning it had a single enclosing bank and ditch rather than the multiple rings found at higher-status sites. Its internal diameter is approximately 24 metres. The south-western arc of the original circular plan is the most legible portion, preserved partly in a curving field wall and partly in that remnant bank, which is around 2 metres wide at its base. The northern and eastern sides have been absorbed entirely into straight field walls, their earlier identity erased by centuries of agricultural reuse. Beneath the southern edge of the enclosure there was once a souterrain, an underground stone-built passage or chamber used for storage and refuge, which local information records as consisting of at least one chamber or passage and a creepway, a low connecting tunnel between sections. No surface trace of it remains. The only thing still visibly out of place in the interior is a grass-covered cairn of stones, roughly 3.5 metres by 2.5 metres, with a shallow depression at its centre, its original purpose unrecorded. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula.
