The site is easy to miss, which is part of what makes it worth pausing over. A subcircular area measuring roughly 16 metres north to south and 10 metres east to west survives here, cut across by a later field wall and bounded to the south by a much-collapsed stone wall. Within the interior, towards the eastern half, a small mound of loose stone sits undisturbed, measuring around 5.4 metres by 3.6 metres. Archaeologists have tentatively identified the whole arrangement as a poorly preserved circular house, though the date remains entirely unknown.

What gives the place a quietly layered quality is its immediate neighbour. A ringfort sits directly to the east-north-east of this possible house, and the two monuments appear to be conjoined. Ringforts, which are enclosed farmsteads typically dating to the early medieval period, are among the most common archaeological monuments in Ireland, yet each one carries its own local logic of placement and association. The relationship between a ringfort and an adjoining structure like this one is not unusual in itself, but here the house is so worn down, so tentative in form, that it raises more questions than it answers. Who built it, when, and whether it pre-dates, post-dates, or was contemporary with the ringfort are things the ground is not yet giving up. A stream runs to the west of the site, which would have made it a practical choice for habitation at almost any period.
