The National Monuments Service's description
Some 60m to the N of a cashel (GA104-100002-). Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 224, no. 55c) as a very ruined 'hut circle (?)' (diam. 14.3m) defined by a wall (Wth 0.91m; H 0.8m). The N part was destroyed as a result of quarrying. No visible surface trace survives.
