House - indeterminate date

The National Monuments Service's description

In an area of improved pastureland. This is one of five houses (see also GA113-054001- to GA113-054003- and GA113-054005-) that were recorded in the vicinity of the cashel (GA113-054----) in 1979 (SMR file). It was located c. 80m to the SW 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. They had rounded external corners and squared internal corners, apart from House 2 (GA113-054002-) which had squared external corners. This house (6.6m x 4.05m int.; H 1.5m; wall Wth 0.8m) was the best preserved example. A dooway (Wth 1m) with jambstones was evident in the E wall and traces of a blocked-up doorway survived opposite it in the W wall. No visible surface trace survives.
