The two shapes may represent separate house sites, or they may be the remains of a single building divided into two rooms. That ambiguity is part of what makes the place quietly compelling: the ground holds the ghost of domestic life, but will not quite say whose or when.

A low bank running north to south connects the ringfort's southern earthwork to the south-east corner of the central house site, suggesting that whoever used the building had some deliberate relationship with the older enclosing structure, whether for shelter, for boundary-keeping, or for something else entirely. A stream runs close to the north and east, which would have made the spot practical for any settled household, if damp. The building, or something very like it, appears to have been recorded on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1837, which means it was still visible and considered worth marking at that point, though its original date of construction remains unknown.
