The stone foundations beneath the turf trace out a subrectangular shape, roughly ten metres along its longer axis and seven metres across, oriented broadly northwest to southeast. It is the kind of structure that only becomes legible from above, its outline emerging in aerial and satellite imagery where ground-level observation would reveal little more than uneven ground.

What makes the site particularly layered is its position within, or possibly within, a cashel. A cashel is a stone-walled enclosure, typically circular or oval, associated with early medieval settlement in Ireland, though the enclosure here is described only as a possible example, its status unconfirmed. The house site sits in the northeastern interior of this feature, which is the arrangement one might expect if the two were contemporary and related, a domestic structure sheltered within a defensive or boundary wall. Whether they belong to the same period of occupation is unknown. The foundations were identified through Digital Globe satellite imagery captured between 2011 and 2013, and through orthophotography from the Ordnance Survey Ireland MapGenie platform dating from 2013 to 2018, both of which caught the subtle topographic signature of the grassed-over stonework. The building's date remains entirely open.
