The National Monuments Service's description

To E and S of a cashel (GA048-007----). The very poorly preserved remains of three huts: (a) immed­iately ESE of the cashel wall at the base of a scarp are the L-shaped foundations (L 2m, Wth 2m) of a rectangular drystone structure; (b) c. 36m to E is an oval area (L 4m, Wth 3m) defined by a line of loose boulders; (c) c. 30m S of cashel wall is a D-shaped drystone structure (L 5m, Wth 3m). (Hardiman 1846, 110; Killanin 1954, 94; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 94)

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
