The National Monuments Service's description
Within the NW quadrant of a cashel (GA084-041----). This rectangular house site (7m E-W; 3.8m N-S) is defined by grassed-over foundation lines (Wth 0.8m; H 0.3m). Inner wall-facing is evident along the W line. A low grassed-over stony bank runs off the NW corner and abuts the inner wall-face of the cashel. Part of a later children’s burial ground (GA084-041----) overlies its NE corner. (Cody 1989, 238-40)
