At Corbally in County Kerry, the remains of just such a structure survive within the northern half of a rath, the term for a ringfort, which is an enclosed farmstead of the early medieval period typically defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches. The square plan here, measuring roughly 7.6 metres northeast to southwest and 8.6 metres northwest to southeast, is enough to make an archaeologist pause.

The hut is outlined by a bank of earth and stone, about 2.65 metres wide, that still stands to an internal height of around half a metre and an external height of 0.8 metres. Within the level interior, loose stones are scattered across the ground, the remnants of walls or flooring that have long since collapsed or been disturbed. That the hut sits inside a rath rather than standing independently is itself significant. Raths were domestic enclosures, and subsidiary structures within them could serve as byres, stores, or workshops alongside a main dwelling. Whether this hut was domestic or functional in some other way, its squared-off geometry within the curve of the enclosing rath gives it an unusual character among its type.
