By 1975, its outline was still faint but legible, a small rectangular shape sitting at the centre of a rath, and someone thought it worth recording. Since then, even that trace has gone.

A rath is a roughly circular earthwork enclosure, typically raised during the early medieval period and associated with farmsteads or settlement sites. Finding a house foundation within one is not unusual in itself; raths were, after all, domestic spaces. What makes this particular site quietly interesting is the detail of position. The house sat not at the edge or along the interior wall of the enclosure, as might be expected for practical reasons of shelter and storage, but at the centre. A second possible structure lay to the north-east of it. The 1975 report that captured this did so through surface observation alone, noting the outlines before they faded entirely from view. No date has been assigned to the house with any confidence, which is itself a common condition for such sites, where the archaeology is too degraded for precise attribution and excavation has never taken place.
