Just one and a half metres in diameter, it is among the smallest of its type in Kerry, and what survives today is only part of the original structure: three stones remain, an axial stone lying flat and a flanking stone on either side, the sockets of two missing entrance stones having been found empty in the ground.

Excavation in 1977 brought the site into sharper focus. The dig, published by Lynch in 1981, uncovered not only those empty sockets but a central pit-burial beneath a single covering slab, holding the cremated remains of an adult. Among the finds were a flint point and a broken sandstone object identified as a possible ard point, an ard being a simple plough-like tillage tool used in prehistory. Radiocarbon dating placed the circle's construction somewhere in the period 1308 to 774 cal. BC, situating it firmly in the Bronze Age. The site does not stand alone: a stone row lies roughly a metre to the south, and a larger multiple-stone circle sits about eighty metres to the west, suggesting that this terrace of rough pasture was once a landscape of deliberate ceremonial arrangement rather than a scattering of unrelated monuments. A medieval road ran just to the north, meaning the place accumulated layers of use across thousands of years, each generation passing alongside or through what earlier people had left behind.
