The chamber is the most arresting feature of a site that rewards careful attention precisely because so much of it is partially ruined, blocked, or ambiguous, each detail quietly complicating any simple reading of what was once here.

The enclosure is a univallate rath, meaning it has a single enclosing bank and fosse, the fosse being the external ditch that typically runs around the outside of such earthworks. Here the fosse is roughly 2.5 metres wide and up to a metre deep, though it disappears entirely along the eastern sector. The bank itself reaches 1.5 metres above the fosse in places, and along much of the east side it has been faced with drystone masonry laid in a herringbone pattern, a style that suggests this stonework was added later, perhaps as a repair or reinforcement long after the original construction. Nobody is certain where the original entrance stood. There are two breaks in the bank, one 3 metres wide at the northeast and one just over a metre wide at the west, but neither reads clearly as a primary gateway. Just inside the western gap, the grass-covered foundations of a small rectangular or D-shaped structure sit against the inner face of the bank, measuring roughly 3.5 by 4.5 metres internally. The souterrain, an underground passage and chamber of a kind commonly associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, often interpreted as a place of refuge or storage, occupies the centre of the enclosure. Its passage is neatly built in drystone, roofed with large flat flags, and measures about 2.5 metres long and only half a metre high. Both ends are now blocked by collapse. Access to the adjoining D-shaped chamber, once reached through a porthole slab set in the passage wall, is no longer possible that way; the only way in is through the collapsed section of roof at its southeast corner. The chamber itself is small, under 4 metres at its longest and just a metre in height. The detail in J. Cuppage's 1986 survey of the Dingle Peninsula places this site within a broader landscape of early settlement along the Corca Dhuibhne region, one of the most archaeologically dense areas in Ireland, where ringforts, souterrains, and ancillary structures are thickly distributed across the ground.
