The entrance, which faces east, is lined with drystone walling, but whatever came and went through it long ago, nothing passes through now. That detail, small as it is, gives the site an oddly sealed quality, as though it turned its back on the outside world at some point and simply stayed that way.

The rath, a type of ringfort defined by a roughly circular earthen bank enclosing a defended farmstead, measures 24 metres across its interior. It is univallate, meaning it has a single enclosing bank rather than the two or three concentric rings found at more elaborate sites. A fosse, or defensive ditch, runs along the western side, dropping some 1.2 metres below the external ground level and as much as 3.2 metres below the crest of the bank itself. That bank survives to 1.5 metres internally in places, and though its inner face has largely collapsed, sections of drystone stonework are still visible within the earthen material. Inside, two hut sites survive in different states of legibility. The first, pressed against the northern bank, has lost its southern half almost entirely, but enough of its circular outline remains to suggest an internal diameter of at least 4.2 metres. The second is stranger: a large stony mound in the south-western quadrant, measuring roughly 14 by 8 metres, within which a circular depression at its southern end may represent the ghost of another hut of similar dimensions. Immediately north of that depression sits a smaller pit, lined on one side with drystone masonry, whose original purpose remains uncertain. This ambiguity was noted by archaeologist J. Cuppage in the 1986 Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey, and it has not been resolved since.
