The National Monuments Service's description
Within the E sector of the interior of a cashel (GA104-055----). This circular house site (diam. 2.6m) is defined by a grassed-over wall. A gap at SSE may mark the entrance. This may be the 'enclosure' noted by McCaffrey (1952, 216, no. 76). Another house site (GA104-055002-) is evident in the NNW sector.
