The National Monuments Service's description
Within the E sector of the interior of a cashel (CL016-094----). This hut site, ‘9 feet inside [2.7m]’ was noted by Westropp (1905, 210) near the gateway and his plan indicates that it was built just S of it and against the cashel wall. It was deeply buried in ‘moss and cranesbills’. No visible trace of it survives. Westropp (ibid.) noted another hut site (CL016-094001-) in the N sector.
