The National Monuments Service's description
Located close to the S shore of Inishlyon. The remains consist of a sub-circular house, c. 4m in diameter, defined by a series of stones indicating a double wall. The walling towards the N has collapsed outwards. There is a possible entrance at the W. Some 40m to the E are the remains of a field wall (GA009D040----) (pers. comm. Erin Gibbons, 29 October 2015).
