The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the W half of a cashel (MA118-104001-). This house was recorded in 1982 as roughly circular area (diam. c. 9m) defined by a ruined stone wall, with a few stones jutting from the wall at N possibly indicating the springing of a corbelled roof. There was an entrance at E (SMR file). In 1990 it was recorded as a circular hut site (diam. 4.2m; int. H 1.8m) (Lavelle 1994, 45, no. 279).
