Nothing is visible at the surface today, yet the site once held a souterrain, an underground passage typically used for storage or refuge, and no fewer than six ogham stones, the upright pillar stones inscribed with an early script used to record names in the Irish language. The concentration of ogham stones alone would mark this out as an unusually significant site; six associated with a single rath is a remarkable number, and suggests the place carried considerable local importance during the early medieval period, roughly the fifth to twelfth centuries, when ringforts served as the enclosed farmsteads of farming families and minor lords.

The 1895 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded the enclosure as a roughly circular earthwork approximately fifty metres in diameter, sitting on a south-facing slope on the kind of gentle break in terrain that early farmers chose for shelter and drainage. By the 1940s, when the County Kerry Field Club visited and recorded it in their minutes, the fort was still being described as a large one. Somewhere in the 1970s, according to local information, it was levelled, most likely during agricultural improvement work of the kind that removed many hundreds of similar monuments across Ireland in that era. The earthen bank that once defined the enclosure was pushed flat, the trackway laid down, and the pasture resumed over the top of it.
