The National Monuments Service's description

Situated c. 40m SE of Caheridoula cashel in a group of houses forming a nucleated settlement. Described by Fitzpatrick (2009, 300) as 'a small nucleated settlement of undetermined date. A field wall overlies the S wall of one of the houses in that cluster and it pre-dates the others. Its visible wall-footings indicate an E/W-aligned rectangular building, 6.2 by 4.4m internally. It is smaller in scale than the Cahermacnaghten, Cahermore and Ballyganner houses and appears to have its entrance in the W gable, unlike the former which have entrances in their long walls. The walls of Caheridoula building are 1m thick, constructed of flat-bedded masonry and have rounded quoins.'
