What keeps it visible, despite the damp and the centuries, is the persistence of its earthworks. The enclosing bank, roughly four metres wide, still rises to 1.8 metres on its outer face, giving the site a quiet physical authority that rewards a careful look.

A rath, as ringforts of this type are known, is a roughly circular enclosure defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, typically associated with early medieval farmsteads in Ireland. This one is univallate, meaning it has a single enclosing bank rather than the two or three rings sometimes found at higher-status sites. The bank is accompanied by an exterior fosse, a defensive ditch, that runs around most of the circuit, though agricultural activity has done some damage to the south-west, where a later fieldbank and ditch cut through the fosse. The interior sits at a higher level than the surrounding land and measures approximately 29 metres north to south and 27 metres east to west. A second fieldbank, running roughly north-west to south-east, divides the interior into two unequal portions, and in the south-west sector there is a shallow rectangular pit measuring around 2.4 metres by 2.8 metres and 0.3 metres deep. Its original purpose is not recorded, and such features in ringfort interiors can relate to storage, drainage, or later agricultural use. The site was documented as part of the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995 by C. Toal.
