The site is classified as a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, which typically survives as a roughly circular earthen bank enclosing a farmstead from the early medieval period. Here, no such bank remains. The ground gives nothing away.

What is known comes almost entirely from cartographic comparison. The site does not appear on the Ordnance Survey mapping of 1841 to 1842, but does show up on a later edition, recorded as a sub-circular enclosure, slightly cut from south to east. That clipping of the shape suggests the enclosure had already been interfered with, possibly by agricultural activity, before it was even formally noted. By the time C. Toal documented it in the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995, no surface trace survived at all. The site exists now largely as a grid reference and a set of map annotations, a structure legible only to those comparing editions of the same map across generations.
