The National Monuments Service's description
In the interior of a cashel (SL015-059001-). A circular hachured feature is shown in the N half of the cashel interior on the 1937 OS 6-inch map, and this most likely equates with a hut site recorded in the late 1800's by Milligan (1890-1, 579). He described it as ‘a small circular structure, 13 feet [c. 4m] internal diameter, and the wall 3 feet [c. 1m] broad’. No visible trace of the hut site was found during an inspection in 2003.
