The National Monuments Service's description

Situated 3m to E (downslope) from a hut (MA085-068----) and immediately W of a ruined wall (MA085-069001-). The house consists of a house of subrectanguar plan (ENE–WSW c. 6.50m; NNW–SSE 2.90m overall). It is defined by relatively small boulders and stones (H 0.30m max.) set in the sward, but its planis indeterminate at the west-south-west- ern end, but appears to be rounded off.

The above description is derived from: New Survey of Clare Island. Volume 5: Archaeology. Edited by Paul Gosling, Conleth Manning and John Waddell. (Royal Irish Academy, Dublin. 2007). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
