It does not appear on any Ordnance Survey historic maps. Its existence was tentative enough that the archaeologists who first noted it hedged their identification carefully, writing that they suspected but were not entirely sure of houses in that part of the site. That quality of ambiguity, a structure so thoroughly absorbed into the landscape that it barely registers as archaeology at all, is part of what makes it worth knowing about.

The site was identified by Seán P. Ó Ríordáin and John Hunt in 1942, in the course of their survey of the wider Cahirguillamore complex. The land here formed part of the former deer park on the demesne of Cahir Guillamore House, and the suspected medieval house lies roughly 30 metres east of the avenue leading to that later residence. Ó Ríordáin and Hunt described what they observed as rectangular structures with low walls, the whole presenting as grass-covered banks where collapsed material had spread and settled over centuries. The house sits within a broader concentration of medieval remains: a deserted medieval settlement, the term used for a cluster of abandoned dwellings and associated features, lies around 50 metres to the west, and a ringfort, an enclosed farmstead type common across early medieval Ireland, sits approximately 120 metres to the south-west. More recently, faint cropmarks visible on aerial orthoimages taken between 2005 and 2012, and again on a Digital Globe image from September 2020, have been interpreted as possibly corresponding to the remains of this medieval house, appearing just to the north of a line of modern dwellings.

The site sits in pasture and is not formally marked or signposted. Access to the field would require permission from the landowner. For anyone with an interest in reading the landscape rather than visiting a monument in any conventional sense, the aerial images compiled as part of the survey offer more visible detail than anything currently legible on the ground. The cropmarks, most apparent in dry summer conditions when soil moisture differences show up in growing vegetation, are the clearest indication that something structural lies beneath. It is the kind of place that rewards patience with maps and satellite imagery as much as, or perhaps more than, a visit in person.
