The structure was once recorded as a circular stone enclosure roughly fifty feet in diameter, with stones that were not contiguous, meaning they were spaced apart rather than forming a continuous wall. That detail matters, because it points to a kerb circle, a type of prehistoric monument in which upright or recumbent stones define the edge of a low cairn or cleared ceremonial space, rather than enclosing it in the manner of a field boundary or fortification. Whatever its original purpose, the ground above it has long since been sealed under concrete, and there is nothing left to see at the surface.

The site sits in an area that appears to have had more going on than a single monument might suggest. A rectangular enclosure lies immediately to the east, and a second kerb circle sits roughly ninety metres to the north, raising the possibility that the two circular features are in fact one and the same site recorded twice under different reference numbers, with some uncertainty about exactly where each begins. That kind of ambiguity is not unusual with monuments that have been partially destroyed or built over, where older descriptions recorded from ground level, or from University College Cork records in this case, may not map cleanly onto later survey coordinates. The clustering of monument types in a small area does suggest this part of North Cork was a focus of activity in prehistory, even if the precise relationship between the individual features is now difficult to untangle.
