The house site measures roughly seven metres by six, oriented northwest to southeast, and what survives is poorly preserved, more a shadow pressed into the ground than anything a casual eye would pick out. That it occupies the interior of a ringfort is the quietly strange thing. Ringforts, which are enclosed farmstead sites typically dating from the early medieval period, were domestic in purpose, but a later building inserted into one raises questions that the ground itself refuses to answer.

The setting adds to the ambiguity. The site sits on a slight rise above gently undulating, low-lying wet pasture, with open views in every direction, the kind of position that suggests deliberate choice, whether for drainage, visibility, or both. Old field banks survive outside the ringfort's outer bank to the northwest and north, and one cuts across the perimeter to the southwest. A further low bank, around seven metres long, runs inward from the southwest and may be another remnant of old field division. These banks hint at a landscape that has been worked and subdivided over a long period, with the house site layered into an already complicated arrangement of earlier boundaries. No date has been established for the rectangular structure, and no name is attached to it.
