The National Monuments Service's description

All that survives of this site is a buttress which was placed at the SW corner of the building shown as a rectangular structure on the OS 1843 map. Built of coursed limestone masonry (H c. 4m). There are putlog holes present. These lands belonged to St. Patricks Cathedral (D'Alton 1838, 726-727).
