The National Monuments Service's description
Abutting a linear wall (long-axis NNW-SSE) to E, in the N sector of a cashel (CL035-044----), and immediately N of a house site (CL035-044003-). A subcircular area (c. 6m NW-SE; c. 5m NE-SW) defined by a moss-covered drystone wall (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.4m; Wth at top 1m; overall Wth 3.6m) comprising small stones (L 0.1-0.2m). The wall is less defined SE-S, where collapse may suggest a possible entrance. The hut site is cut into the interior grass-covered wall of the cashel (CL035-044----) at NNE. The hut site is not clearly seen SW-N due to dense growth of impenetrable briars.
