The stones are modest, fragmentary, and easy to miss, yet they may represent the ghost of a dwelling, a circular structure perhaps three to three and a half metres in diameter whose walls have long since collapsed into the earth around them.

A rath is a roughly circular enclosure, typically defined by an earthen bank and ditch, that served in early medieval Ireland as a farmstead or settlement boundary. Within this particular example, something was built at the centre, though its date remains uncertain. What survives is a partial ring of loose stonework, no more than about forty centimetres high at its best and considerably less on the western side, which is very poorly preserved. A further collapsed wall runs as a jumbled scatter of stones from the rath bank in the south through the interior towards the north, curving as it goes around the raised area where the possible hut sits. Whether that outer wall was a later addition, a subdivision of the enclosed space, or part of the original arrangement is not known. The whole thing is fragmentary enough that even the designation of hut site carries a qualifier: possible, uncertain, a tentative reading of a landscape that has been quietly subsiding for an unknown number of centuries.
