It is easy to overlook, its walls reduced now to a low bank of earth and stone no more than 0.7 metres high, but the outlines of a domestic space remain legible: a room measuring roughly five metres by three and a half, with an entrance just wide enough for a person, facing south-south-east.

Ringforts are the most common monument type in the Irish landscape, enclosed farmsteads typically built during the early medieval period, though many continued in use, or were reoccupied, across later centuries. This one, recorded separately, occupies the same prominent ground. The house site within it is of indeterminate date, meaning no surviving evidence has been enough to pin it to a particular period. What can be said is that someone chose the north-eastern quadrant of the enclosure deliberately, and that a low connecting bank of earth and stone still runs from the hut across to the ringfort's own perimeter bank at the north-east, suggesting a deliberate relationship between the two. Whether the structure was built at the same time as the ringfort or inserted into an already ancient enclosure by someone seeking its shelter or the prestige of its ground, the archaeology does not say.
