The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in the NW portion of Cahermacnaghten cashel (CL009-001010-). The grass-covered foundations of a small building aligned E-W (ext. L 9.9m E-W; 4.9m E-W) are represented by the W wall and the walls of a room at the E end (int. dims. 3.55m N-S; c. 1.5m E-W). Another house (CL009-001050-) is 3m to the E and the remains of three other houses (CL009-001051-, CL009-001012, and CL009-001052-) lie inside the S perimeter. The houses within the cashel were divided between Aodh and Cosnamhach Ó Dabhoireann in 1606 and the deed also mentions that the houses had been the property of their grandfather (FitzPatrick 2008, 59). Caher Mhic Neachtain is a National Monument in State Care, no. 354.
