The dimensions are specific enough to feel almost domestic: roughly 6.9 metres north to south and 9 metres east to west internally, the stone walls of this possible house-site still hold their outline, even if the roof and its occupants left no trace that survives.

The house sits within a ringfort, the kind of enclosed farmstead that was the standard unit of rural settlement across early medieval Ireland. This particular example is sub-circular and univallate, meaning it has a single enclosing bank, here built of earth and stone. Around much of its circumference, from the west through north to east, a fosse, an outer ditch, can still be traced. What remains of it runs to about two metres wide and sits roughly 0.8 metres below the level of the surrounding land, shallow enough to be easy to miss, but clear enough once you know to look. The ringfort and its internal house-site were recorded as part of the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995 by C. Toal. The date of the structure itself remains indeterminate; no excavation appears to have resolved the question.
