The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, in a hollow area known as 'The Catharachs'. The remains of a D-shaped hut (3.75m E-W) defined by a curving drystone wall (T 1m; H 0.8m) and by a straight W side (L 3m), formed by the E wall of a cashel (KE086-001001-). The base of the wall is in a ruinous condition. The interior is covered with loose rubble and ferns.
