The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated in a drawing by Westropp (1986, 153; 1915, 270) in the centre of ‘Cashlaungarr’ cashel (CL010-057----). Westropp (1896, 152) described a ‘cloghaun’ in the very centre of the cashel opposite the E gateway and three other hut sites (CL010-057003-, CL010-057004- and CL010-057005-) in the N quadrant. He later noted (1915, 270) that these had become hardly distinguishable. They were not discernible on the ground on inspection in 1999.
