The National Monuments Service's description
Power (1895b, 137) describes a possible deserted settlement as follows: 'Close by the ruin [St Bridgid's church; WA017-050001-] are traces of early and extensive occupation in the shape of mounds and lines of earthwork enclosing square spaces. An ancient road, leading in a northerly direction, can be traced for some distance between its earthen ramparts.' These are not visible at ground level and there are clearance cairns at the site.
