The one at Ballynamanoge in County Wicklow is more crowded than that. Set at a break in a pronounced south-east-facing slope, its interior contains not one but three separate hut sites, arranged across different quadrants of the enclosure as if the space were carefully parcelled out among its occupants.

The hut site in the north-west quadrant is the most closely described of the three. It takes the form of a sunken rectangle, ten metres along its north-west to south-east axis and four metres across, sunk roughly forty centimetres into the ground and edged with boulders. That combination, a slightly hollowed floor with a stone border, is a recognisable signature of early medieval domestic construction, where scooping out a shallow depression offered some insulation and the boulders helped define the wall line. The two companion hut sites occupy the south-east and north-east quadrants respectively, suggesting the ringfort supported something closer to a small settlement cluster than a single household. The ringfort itself sits on sloping ground, the break in the gradient presumably chosen to give the enclosure a more level platform and a degree of natural defensive advantage on the downhill side.
