It measures just three metres north to south and two and a half metres east to west, outlined by a low bank no more than thirty centimetres high and a metre and a half wide. Small enough to overlook entirely, it survives only as a faint earthwork, its date unknown.

What makes this site quietly unusual is its relationship to the landscape around it. The house sits within the eastern quadrant of an earlier ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead common in early medieval Ireland, typically defined by one or more earthen banks enclosing a circular area of land. The house bank adjoins the ringfort's own bank along a sweep from the north-east around through east to the south-east, suggesting that whoever built here was making deliberate use of an already existing structure, perhaps for shelter, perhaps simply because the materials and the ground were already shaped to purpose. Whether the house is contemporary with the ringfort, or was inserted centuries later by someone who saw a convenient enclosure, is something the record cannot say.
