The National Monuments Service's description
Just N of the centre of the interior of the cashel (GA119-013----). This grassed-over subcircular hut (4.9m N-S; 4.5m E-W) is defined by double-faced wall foundations (Wth 1.6m; H 0.2m), set on edge, and a rubble core. It is best preserved at N; along the S sector another line of foundation stones is visible between the inner and outer wall-faces, suggesting that the wall may have been initially narrower here or that it was subsequently strengthened. Gaps at E and W may indicate the former position of doorways.
