The National Monuments Service's description
This rectangular gabled building (11.2m N-S; 3.75m E-W) is part of the monastic complex known as na Seacht Teampaill/the Seven Churches. It is c. 2m to the NW of Teampall Bhreacáin/Temple Brecan (GA110-010001-) and is constructed of mortared limestone masonry. The remains of opposing doorways are evident at the S end of the E and W walls. Two simple rectangular windows are visible one either side of the doorway in the E wall. Niches are evident in the W and N walls. This building is very similar to Building A (GA110-010006-) (Waddell 1973, 14-15, Building F). (Gosling 1993, 63, no. 349)
