Somewhere beneath the ground inside a rath, the circular earthwork enclosure that was the most common form of early medieval farmstead in Ireland, lies what a mid-twentieth-century observer tentatively identified as the remains of a dwelling. No surface trace survives today.

When McCaffrey examined the site in 1952, he recorded a circle of stones sunk into the earth, roughly ten metres in diameter, and suggested it might represent a hut site. The cautious phrasing matters: he was careful not to claim more than the evidence allowed. Set within the interior of the rath, such a structure would be consistent with the kind of modest habitation that occupied these enclosures across early medieval Ireland, though without excavation the date and function of the stone circle remain genuinely uncertain. A rath typically consisted of one or more earthen banks and ditches enclosing a domestic space, and finding structural remains inside one is not unusual; what is unusual here is how completely the evidence has retreated from view.
