The National Monuments Service's description
In the NE quadrant of the cashel (GA113-058003-). Indicated on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roofed building. Only the foundation lines (Wth 1m) now survive indicating a building (L 13m; Wth 7m) that was aligned NW-SE. The cashel wall appears to have formed the back wall of the building as the E and W walls abut it and are not tied into it.
