This is a univallate ringfort, meaning it was originally defined by a single enclosing element, most likely an earthen bank or wall, rather than the multiple concentric ramparts found at more elaborate sites. What makes this one quietly interesting is how much of its original form has been absorbed into the working fabric of the countryside around it.

The ringfort measures roughly 19 metres across on its north-south axis and just over 20 metres east to west. Along the north-western sector, a later field wall has been built directly on the line of the original enclosure, which speaks to a habit common across rural Ireland of simply incorporating ancient boundaries into newer ones rather than clearing them away. Elsewhere around the perimeter, the edge of the enclosure survives as a scarp, a sharp drop of up to 1.8 metres down to the surrounding ground level, which would once have formed a meaningful barrier. Along the southern half, a low stone and earth bank, no more than half a metre tall and about two metres wide, still crowns this drop. The most precise detail the site offers is a single upright stone on the eastern side of the bank, measuring 0.6 metres high and 0.7 metres long, set across the bank's full width in a way that may mark where the original entrance once stood. The less tidy gaps visible at the south and west are considered secondary breaks, probably the result of later use rather than any deliberate ancient feature. The description of the enclosure was first published by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey, a methodical catalogue of the extraordinary density of early remains found across Corca Dhuibhne.
