The National Monuments Service's description

Located in the interior of a cashel (MA121-153002-). An inspection in 1984 recorded a possible hut site (1.5m N–S; 4m E-W) against the inner face of the cashel wall at N. It was described as being poorly defined and possibly a later in date than the cashel. (SMR file). Lavelle (1994, 43, no. 259) recorded that it was 'Levelled during land reclamation (NMI).'
