It is the kind of detail that invites speculation, the sort of internal feature that can indicate a house platform, a storage area, or some other structure long since vanished from the surface.

The site itself is a univallate rath, meaning it has a single enclosing bank rather than the two or three concentric rings found at more elaborate examples. A rath is an early medieval farmstead enclosure, typically of earthen construction and associated with the period roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries in Ireland. Here the bank is well preserved, running to about 5 metres wide and standing nearly 2 metres above the level of the external fosse, the shallow defensive ditch that runs around the outside. That fosse is still legible for most of the circuit, though a later field boundary has cut through it to the south and south-east, a reminder of how agricultural land management has gradually encroached on these monuments over the centuries. The enclosure itself is substantial, measuring just over 40 metres across in both directions, with the interior sitting at a slightly higher elevation than the surrounding land. A narrow entrance, 2.6 metres wide, opens to the north-east. The site was documented in the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, compiled by C. Toal and published in 1995.
