The National Monuments Service's description
Within the NNW sector of the interior of a cashel (GA104-055----). This rectangular house site (L 7.4m; Wth 4.9m) is defined by a double-faced wall with a rubble core. A gap at the W end of the N wall may mark the doorway. The interior is 0.6m below the level of the cashel. Another house site (GA104-055003-) is evident in the E sector.
