The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in relatively low-lying, rough, wet pasture. Incorporated into a deserted medieval settlement (WM025-111004-) and an ancient field system (WM025-111001-) is a circular-shaped house site c. 20m to W of enclosure (WM025-114----). A second house site (WM025-111002-) lies c. 50m to NW, an enclosure (WM025-113----) lies c. 52m to W and a ringfort (WM025-112----) lies c. 135m to NW. The archaeological complex that encompasses this house site lies c. 165m to SE of St Maol Tuile (St Multilly’s) holy well and c. 290m to S of ecclesiastical remains consisting of high cross (WM025-110005-) and the medieval parish church (WM025-110002-) & graveyard (WM025-110004-) of Dysart which are situated on the site of an Early Christian monastery which was founded here in the 8th or 9th century by St Maol Tuile. House site is visible today as a circular-shaped earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
