Not approximately, not to within a century. The structure, such as it survives, amounts to a flat rectangular platform defined by the faintest of embankments, a barely perceptible rise in the ground that signals former habitation rather than demonstrating it. What makes this quietly odd is not the house itself but its company: the platform sits immediately to the north-east of a possible promontory fort, and a second house site lies within the south-eastern area of that same enclosure.

A promontory fort is a form of defensive settlement in which a headland or spit of land is cut off from the mainland by a bank or ditch, the water on the remaining sides doing much of the defensive work. Whether the earthwork here qualifies as such a fort remains uncertain, hence the designation of possibility rather than confirmed type. Surveyors working between 1976 and 1981 recorded the platform house as adjacent to this enclosure, placing it outside the fortified area but in close proximity to it. The Breensford River runs roughly 215 metres to the south-west, adding another natural boundary to a landscape already shaped by Killinure Lough and the larger waters of Lough Ree. The relationship between the two house sites, one outside and one within the fort's south-eastern interior, hints at sequential or layered occupation across an unknown span of time, though without datable material the sequence remains a matter of inference.
