It is a univallate rath, meaning it has a single enclosing bank rather than the multiple concentric rings found at more elaborate sites, and it measures just over eighteen and a half metres north to south and nearly twenty-one metres east to west. What makes it quietly distinctive is not its size but the detail of its construction: in the south-east quadrant, the inner face of the bank is revetted with stone, a method of stabilising an earthen bank by lining it with masonry. That in itself is not unheard of, but the manner of it is unusual. Rather than a continuous wall, the facing is made up of short stretches of drystone walling interrupted by upright slabs, a combination that suggests a deliberate structural choice rather than simple repair or improvisation.

The rath belongs to a type of enclosed farmstead associated broadly with early medieval Ireland, though such sites continued in use across long periods and their precise dating is rarely straightforward. The enclosing bank varies considerably in height depending on whether you are measuring the upslope or downslope side, reflecting a practical response to the gradient: on the upslope side the internal height reaches 1.3 metres, while externally it is only 0.6 metres; on the downslope side those figures are essentially reversed, with the external face standing 1.25 metres. A 4.5-metre-wide gap in the east is likely the original entrance. Two conjoined circular huts, each roughly 4.7 metres in internal diameter, are built against the stone-faced inner bank at the south. They share a wall, and only the eastern hut has a visible entrance. The western hut appears to have been accessible only through its neighbour, an arrangement that raises quiet questions about how the space was used and by whom. The site was recorded and described by J. Cuppage as part of the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region.
