The remains consist of what archaeologists believe to be two main hut sites enclosed within a cashel, a type of circular stone wall fortification common in early Irish settlements. Though time and nature have taken their toll, with one hut site now completely overtaken by briars and impossible to examine properly, the layout of this small farmstead can still be traced through its surviving stone footings.

The cashel itself once enclosed not just the two primary dwellings but also what appear to be two smaller structures built against the inner face of the enclosing wall. These less substantial buildings, visible only as faint traces in the eastern and northern sections of the site, were likely animal pens or storage enclosures; a typical arrangement for these self-sufficient homesteads. The dry stone wall technique used in the cashel’s construction was a practical choice that required no mortar, allowing builders to create sturdy enclosures using only the stones cleared from nearby fields.

This monument doesn’t stand alone but forms part of a cluster of four related archaeological sites in the area, with another hut site located just 45 metres to the south. That neighbouring structure sits within an extensive ancient field system, suggesting this was once a thriving agricultural community. Together, these remains paint a picture of rural life in early medieval Ireland, where families lived in small, fortified homesteads, raising livestock and working the land in a landscape that has changed remarkably little over the centuries.
