The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a knoll on a gentle SE-facing slope, with a S-N section of the Delvin River c. 50m to the E and c. 10m S of the S boundary of the graveyard at Stamullin church (ME034-001----). Archaeological testing (95E0143) produced evidence of a house floor cut into the subsoil with an occupation layer (L c. 4m; Wth c. 1.5m), which was cut by a pit, and a hearth. Medieval pottery post-dated this house. (Swan 1996a; 1996b)
