Nestled within the interior of a ringfort, a circular earthwork enclosure of the kind that dots the Irish countryside in the thousands, typically dating from the early medieval period, there is a barely perceptible hollow in the earth. It measures roughly 3.7 metres on its longer axis and 2.6 metres across, with a low mound running along its upper south-western edge. That mound rises no more than 35 centimetres at its most pronounced point, and the whole feature sits close against the inner base of the ringfort's north-western bank.

When the site was recorded in 1971, it was described as a slight depression with a very slight associated mound about 1.8 metres wide. The interpretation offered, carefully and without certainty, is that this may represent the remains of a house site. Whether it was a dwelling built by whoever occupied the ringfort, or something that came later, is unknown. The date is listed simply as indeterminate. What makes it worth pausing over is the modesty of the thing itself: not a dramatic ruin, not a visible structure, but the faintest imprint of a life once lived within an already ancient enclosure, the kind of trace that most people would walk across without a second thought.
