A circular house, positioned at the centre of an oval enclosure, was uncovered during excavation, leaving behind evidence of how people in early medieval Ireland organised domestic space at its most basic scale. Wattle construction, which involved weaving flexible branches or rods between upright stakes to form walls, was a common building method in early medieval Ireland, sturdy enough for its time and entirely biodegradable over the centuries that followed, which is part of why so few examples survive above ground.

The excavation findings and associated finds point to an early medieval date for the site, a broad period roughly spanning the fifth to the twelfth centuries, when enclosed settlements of this kind were widespread across the Irish countryside. The oval enclosure surrounding the hut would have served a practical purpose, defining a boundary for the household and perhaps offering some protection for people and livestock. O'Connor, writing in 1944, recorded the site with enough detail to establish its character, even if the physical remains themselves are now largely invisible at ground level.
