The foundations stand only twenty centimetres high and extend roughly 1.2 metres in width, subtle enough to be easily overlooked, yet precise enough in their layout to preserve the shape of a structure measuring approximately 7.8 metres north to south and 8.3 metres east to west.

A rath, sometimes called a ringfort, is an enclosed farmstead of the early medieval period, typically defined by an earthen bank and ditch and built to shelter a family and their livestock. Finding a hut site positioned at the very centre of a rath's interior is a detail worth pausing over. This particular structure was recorded by Lavelle in 1994, who noted its circular form and the remnant stone foundations that still define it. The placement at the heart of the enclosure, rather than against its inner edge where ancillary buildings are more commonly found, gives the site a quality that invites questions about how the space was originally organised and used.
