The National Monuments Service's description
Located c. 6m to the WSW of a rath (GA070-110001-). This roughly subrectangular house site(dims. 8m NE-SW; 5m NW-SE) is defined by a poorly preserved earth and stone wall. Gaps (Wth 2m) are evident at NE and SE. The interior is slightly sunken but this may be due to erosion by livestock. A small rectangular annexe (dims. 4m NW-SE; 2m NE-SW) forms the NE end.
