Ringforts are enclosed farmsteads, typically circular, built across Ireland from the early medieval period onwards, and it is not unusual to find structures within them. What catches the attention here is the layering of uncertainty; the building's date is simply not known, its entrance cannot be clearly identified, and the structure itself divides into two or possibly three chambers in a way that resists easy interpretation.

The remains are defined by a low bank of earth and stone following the lines of a long rectangular plan. A separate rectangular room to the north of the main structure may be the remnant of a second house site altogether, or it may be part of the same building. No firm conclusion has been reached. The views from this modest elevation are open to the east, south, and west, with the northern aspect more enclosed, a detail that may or may not have influenced how whoever lived here oriented their settlement. Without a confirmed date, the building could belong to almost any period in which people made use of existing ringfort enclosures, whether for shelter, storage, or habitation.
