The National Monuments Service's description
This possible house site lies in the heavily overgrown NW quadrant of a cashel (GA070-105----). It is defined by a collapsed double wall that runs towards the enclosing element at NW but the interface of the two structures is difficult to discern. The E wall (Wth 1.1m; H 0.1-0.2m) is 6.4m long and there is a short return (L 0.4m) at its S end. Otherwise no trace of the S wall survives. The W wall is more collapsed and overgrown but wall-facing is evident. This monument was brought to our attention by Dr C. Cunniffe.
