It sits at the centre of the enclosure, which is where you might expect a house to be, and yet its modesty is striking. The whole thing measures just six metres across, enclosed by a bank barely fifteen centimetres high and a metre wide, the kind of earthwork that could easily be mistaken for natural variation in the ground.

What lifts it slightly above the surrounding surface is a flat-topped platform, wider than the hut itself at 8.8 metres in diameter, and noticeably higher on its north-west side, where it rises to around eighty centimetres, than on the south-east, where it reaches only forty. Whether that asymmetry is original construction, the result of centuries of weathering, or something else entirely is not recorded. What survives is the faint geometry of a circle within a circle within a circle, each ring of earthwork telling a different part of a story that cannot now be fully read. The rath enclosure, the platform, and the possible hut site nest inside one another like the remains of a domestic arrangement interrupted a very long time ago.
