The National Monuments Service's description

Located in the N sector of the interior of a cashel (CL008-054001-), this rectangular house (7m E-W; 4.5m N-S) is defined by a collapsed and grass-covered wall (Wth 0.8m; H 0.25m). The W wall continues running in a southerly direction (L 17m), almost bisecting the interior of the cashel. A shorter length of similar collapsed and grassed-over walling (L 5m), running NE-SW, is visible in the S sector to the E of this wall.
