A rath is a roughly circular earthen enclosure, typically associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, and this one contains what was, at least in 1976, a stony enclosure interpreted as the remains of a large house, with a smaller companion structure lying to its east. By 1998, neither could be seen at ground level.

The 1976 observation recorded both buildings as overgrown and difficult to examine even then, which suggests they were already in an advanced state of disappearance. The intervening two decades apparently finished the process. Whether the vegetation simply deepened, or whether the stones were cleared or dispersed in the meantime, is not recorded. The date of the original construction is entirely unknown, and the buildings are described only as a stony enclosure of uncertain purpose, the identification as a house remaining tentative. The pairing of a larger and a smaller structure within a single rath is not unusual in early Irish settlement archaeology, where such enclosures often sheltered a household and its associated outbuildings, but in this case the specifics resist closer reading.

For anyone curious enough to visit, the honest expectation is that there is nothing obvious to find. The site sits within the rath itself, whose own condition at ground level is not described in any detail. What the location offers, practically speaking, is the slightly vertiginous experience of standing in a place that has been recorded, examined, and then watched as it disappeared.
