The National Monuments Service's description
'To the east of the cashel [KE034-041----], immediately south of the entrance, are the remains of three cloghauns [KE034-041003-, KE034-041004-, KE034-041005-] roughly in a row, two are conjoined in a figure of eight. A direct relationship between the cloughans and the cashel cannot be discounted' (Gibbons 1998, 81).
