The National Monuments Service's description
Teach Gall or the bright house, which may have been a hospital (Lee 1974-5, 227) is at the W edge of Kilbarry graveyard (RO024-016008-). It is a rectangular structure (int. dims 11.7m N-S; at least 5.7m E-W), of which the S gable survives almost complete (H 3.4m) with a simple light, together with fragments of the E (H 2m) and N (H 1.8m) walls.
