It measures just seven metres across, enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone that rises only about thirty-five centimetres above the interior. What makes it quietly worth attention is the care of its construction: the bank is not simply heaped rubble but an earthen core faced on both sides with thick limestone flags set upright on their edges, each slab averaging around sixty centimetres long and forty wide. This technique, known as dry-stone revetment, is a method of stabilising and facing an earthwork with flat stone, and it gives the structure a precision that outlasts any certainty about who built it or why.

The classification as a house of indeterminate date is honest rather than evasive. Circular enclosures of this kind appear across Ireland from the prehistoric period through the early medieval, and without excavation or associated finds it is not possible to say more. The revetting is best preserved along the south-west to north-west arc of the bank, suggesting that section has suffered least from the centuries. At the north-east, a gap three metres wide marks where the original entrance once stood, though that opening appears to have been widened at some point in more recent times, probably to allow farm machinery or livestock through. That small modification is itself a kind of footnote, a reminder that these features are not museum pieces but working parts of a landscape that kept being used long after their original purpose was forgotten.
