A rath, sometimes called a ringfort, is a roughly circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank and ditch, most commonly associated with early medieval farming settlement in Ireland. That someone may have built their home against the inner face of one such bank adds a quiet layer of detail to what everyday life inside these enclosures could look like.

The possible structure traces a rectangular footprint of roughly five metres north to south and six and a half metres east to west. Its defining feature is an ephemeral stony bank or wall, surviving to a height of only around twenty centimetres and a width of about one metre, though on the northern side this wall broadens to approximately one point eight metres. Whether that widening reflects a structural reinforcement, an entrance feature, or simply the uneven survival of collapsed material is not clear. A second possible house sits immediately outside the rath to the west, hinting that occupation here was not confined within the enclosure alone. No date has been established for either structure, and the relationship between the two buildings, and between them and the rath itself, remains an open question.
