The National Monuments Service's description

On low-lying ground close to a marsh which extends off to the S and E. The W gable (L 6m) and adjacent parts of the N and S walls of a house which had two storeys and an attic survives. It is now incorporated into a handball alley, which extends to the W, and no diagnostic features are visible, but it was part of the rounds of St Bridget's Well (RO048-108001-), c. 100m to the SSE and may have been the house known as 'Tigh Sean an Tobair' (Kelly 1907, 7).
