The National Monuments Service's description
This possible rectangular building (c. 9m NE-SW; 4.4m NW-SE) is part of the monastic complex known as na Seacht Teampaill/the Seven Churches and is c. 14m to the NE of Teampall Bhreacáin/Temple Brecan (GA110-010001-). It is very poorly preserved and only traces of the SW and NW walls (max. H 0.45m) survive. It is of drystone masonry construction (Waddell 1973, 12, Building B). (Gosling 1993, 63, no. 349)
