What remains of it sits inside a ringfort, that most Irish of ancient enclosures, a circular earthwork bank once used to define a farmstead or settlement, typically from the early medieval period. The house itself is represented now only by grass-covered wall footings, a faint rectangular outline roughly ten metres by eight, its low earthen bank interrupted by entrance gaps at the north-west and south-east.

The relationship between the house and the ringfort raises quiet questions. Ringforts were built and occupied across many centuries, broadly from around the sixth to the twelfth century, though some saw use much later. A structure placed deliberately at the centre of one might be contemporary with it, or might be a much later insertion, a settler or farmer making use of a ready-made enclosure long after its original occupants were gone. Without excavation, there is no way to say which is the case here, and the record offers no names, no dates, and no events to anchor the building in time. The site sits on higher ground with clear views in all directions, a detail that would have mattered whether the person living here was watching over livestock, watching for strangers, or simply making the most of what the land offered.
