Most ringforts, known in Irish as raths, have a single opening; this one has two, one facing east at 3.4 metres wide and a second, wider gap of 5.2 metres pointing west-south-west. That asymmetry is unremarkable to the untrained eye, but in the context of early medieval settlement it raises small, unanswerable questions about how the enclosure was used and by whom.

A rath is an early medieval farmstead enclosure, typically dating from roughly the fifth to the twelfth century, built from the earth thrown up during the digging of one or more surrounding ditches. This example is univallate, meaning it has a single bank rather than the double or triple rings found at higher-status sites. The bank here is approximately five metres wide at its base, rising about a metre above the interior ground level and a metre and a half above the surrounding land. The interior sits at a slightly elevated position relative to the fields around it, a detail that may reflect deliberate drainage management or simply the accumulation of centuries of occupation. It was recorded in C. Toal's North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995 by Brandon in association with FÁS, where it appears as entry number 629. Access for a formal survey was not granted, so the internal features, whether any traces of structures, hearths, or souterrains survive, remain unexamined and unrecorded.
