The stones spread across the entire surface and flanks of the platform, growing denser towards the edge where they form what might generously be called a bank, though it is so slight as to be almost invisible. What makes the site stranger still is that somewhere within this spread of rubble there was once a souterrain, an underground passage or chamber built typically in early medieval Ireland for storage or refuge, and the traces of a small structure above ground.

The site corresponds, most likely, to a description recorded in the Ordnance Survey Name Books for the Cloghane area, which noted a heap of stones forming a kind of circle, with both a small house and a souterrain visible within it. That account gives a sense of how much has been lost even in the relatively short span since the nineteenth century. By the time J. Cuppage documented the Dingle Peninsula as part of the Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey published in 1986, what had once been legible as an enclosure with standing features had reduced to a scatter of stones and a barely perceptible earthwork. The circular enclosure is recorded on Ordnance Survey maps under the reference KE026-021, though the souterrain itself is what draws particular interest. Such underground features were often associated with early ecclesiastical or domestic settlements, and the Dingle Peninsula is extraordinarily dense with this kind of early medieval activity.
