The foundations, no more than 30 centimetres high at their tallest and about 75 centimetres wide, trace a north-to-south aligned rectangle measuring 12.8 metres long and 6.9 metres across. What they once supported, and when, remains unresolved.

The structure is classified only as a possible house site, which is itself a reminder of how much of the built past survives in forms too eroded to read with confidence. Wall foundations of this kind are the last legible trace of domestic buildings whose superstructures, whether of timber, mud, or unmortared stone, have long since dissolved back into the landscape. Two further possible house sites have been identified nearby, one to the north and one to the east, suggesting this may have been part of a small cluster of buildings grouped around the tower house rather than a single outlying structure. Tower houses, the fortified stone residences common across late medieval Ireland, were often surrounded by such ancillary buildings, forming a working complex rather than a solitary stronghold. Whether the foundations here belong to that medieval phase, or to a later period entirely, is not known.
