What survives is almost imperceptibly faint, a four-metre square area defined by the ghost-like remnants of a low bank or wall along its northern and southern sides, interpreted as the possible remains of a hut site. It is the kind of feature that most walkers would step over without a second thought.

The hut site sits inside a rath, the Irish term for a roughly circular earthen enclosure, typically dating from the early medieval period and used as a farmstead. This particular rath is itself noteworthy for an internal division, a low bank running northwest to southeast through its centre, roughly 1.3 metres wide and 0.2 metres high, splitting the enclosed space into two approximately equal portions. The possible hut site abuts the eastern side of this dividing bank, suggesting it was integral to whatever arrangement of activity or habitation the enclosure once organised. Whether the bank separated livestock from living quarters, or divided the space between two households or functions, is not recorded; the earthworks simply hold their shape and offer no easy answer.
