The National Monuments Service's description

Within the ENE sector of the interior of a rath (LF017-021----). The basal portions of this L-shaped house (15.45m WNW-ESE; 12.6m NNE-SSW; Wth 5m) with at least five internal divisions survive. The house is possibly of late 17th century date. A large, artificially constructed pond outside the rath at SE is probably contemporary with it.
