The enclosing bank of this early medieval ringfort, a rath being a roughly circular farmstead enclosure built from earth rather than stone, rises nearly a metre above the ground on its downslope, southeastern side, yet barely clears the surface on the upslope interior. That asymmetry is not accidental; it reflects how the bank was engineered to present a uniform barrier when viewed from the approach, while the uphill side needed far less material to achieve the same effect. Scattered loose stones along both inner and outer faces suggest that the earthen bank was once faced with drystone revetment, a technique that would have sharpened and stabilised its profile considerably.

The site was recorded and described in J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, the Dingle Peninsula, which catalogued this enclosure as roughly circular, measuring around 28.5 metres southeast to northwest and 32 metres on the northeast to southwest axis. What gives the interior particular interest is the evidence of habitation rather than simple enclosure. Slightly southwest of centre sits the collapsed remains of a circular stone hut, its walls now a grass-grown spread roughly two metres wide and under a metre high, with a small section of the original inner wall face still legible to the northwest. The internal diameter of this hut runs to about 4.4 metres, a modest but functional living space by the standards of early Irish settlement. Immediately to the northeast of it, a raised, slightly depressed area of loose stones may mark one or possibly two further huts, though collapse and centuries of vegetation growth make certainty difficult. Later agricultural activity has also left its trace; a field wall has replaced the original bank entirely in the northeastern quadrant, and a second field wall runs just outside the enclosure to the east-southeast, both probably following lines that the original structure established long before.
