The National Monuments Service's description
A possible rectangular building is visible in the W half of a cashel (GA016-137001-) that came to light on LiDAR imagery (FitzPatrick 2019, 25). It may be a late-medieval addition to the cashel and the field system (GA016-137003-) may be associated with it.
