By the time a survey team looked for it, only its record survived. A thorough search of the area turned up no visible surface traces at all.

The house was one of five recorded in 1979 in the vicinity of the cashel, a cashel being a stone-walled ringfort of the kind common across the west of Ireland. This particular structure sat approximately seventy metres to the south of it. All five houses shared a consistent building technique with the cashel itself: double-faced drystone limestone walls with a rubble core packed between the two outer skins. Most of them had a distinctive combination of rounded external corners and squared internal ones, a detail that suggests a practiced local building tradition rather than improvised construction. One house in the group broke from this pattern by having squared external corners instead. Of the house in question, only the south-eastern section survived when it was recorded, though enough remained to show that an internal dividing wall had once separated the interior into at least two spaces. The date of construction is unknown, and the building cannot be precisely located on the ground today.
