The National Monuments Service's description
In the SE quadrant of a cashel (GA122-144001-). A ruined building with a possible associated out-house and haggard wall abut the cashel wall. The building (4m N-S; 3.8m E-W) is constructed of double-walling and its S wall (Wth 0.85m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m) is the best preserved wall. A gap (Wth 0.6m) in the N wall leads to the out-building (2.8m N-S). The N wall of this building appears to extend to the W of the main building but is in a much-collapsed state. A possible haggard wall constructed of a single line of boulders (Wth 0.35m; H 0.6m) extends off the SW corner of the main building and curves towards the SE to the cashel wall.
