The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of improved pastureland. This is one of five houses (see also GA113-054001- and GA113-054003- to GA113-054005-) that were recorded in the vicinity of the cashel (GA113-054----) in 1979 (SMR file). It was located c. 15m to the SE of it. All of the houses were of similar construction to the cashel and were built of double-faced drystone limestone blocks with a rubble core. However, this house differed slightly from the others which had rounded external corners and squared internal corners. The corners that survived on the S side of this house were squared externally. Not precisely located but a thorough search of the area to the SE of the cashel was made and no visible surface traces were noted.
