The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the N perimeter of a cashel (CL009-079----), this rectangular house of indeterminate date (int. dims. 8m E-W; min. 2.6m N-S) is defined by stone walls with rounded corners. The double-faced N wall (Wth 0.6m; H 0.8m) is well built with three courses visible. There is a doorway (Wth not discernible) in the E end of the N wall. A probable bench (L 2.4m; Wth 1m) projects in from the S wall. Abutting the W exterior of the house is a looped drystone wall (diam. 2m) around the edge of a possible collapsed chamber of souterrain (CL009-079002-), which extends to the W.
