An oval enclosure roughly 43 metres across north to south and nearly 48 metres east to west, it sits above the Anascaul valley with an earthen bank reinforced by drystone facing, the kind of construction that blends so seamlessly with the field fences running alongside it that distinguishing ancient boundary from modern one is genuinely difficult. Along most of its circuit, the bank does exactly the same job as the laneway fence it adjoins, standing around 1.2 metres high. Only in the northern sector does it behave differently, dropping to half a metre above the interior while rising to 1.5 metres on the outside, a subtle asymmetry that hints at deliberate design rather than agricultural convenience.

A ringfort, or rath, is typically an enclosed farmstead of the early medieval period, defined by one or more earthen banks and used for settlement and livestock. The category is common across Ireland, with tens of thousands recorded, but individual examples are frequently ambiguous, and this one sits in that uncertain margin. Its classification as a ringfort is not confirmed. The interior has been divided by later field fences, one running north to south through the middle, another bisecting the eastern half east to west, so whatever original shape the enclosed space once presented has been partitioned and repurposed over time. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, a detailed regional study of the Corca Dhuibhne area, but even that careful survey could not resolve whether what survives here is genuinely prehistoric or early medieval in origin, or simply a landscape feature that happens to resemble one.
