A cashel is a stone-walled ringfort, a form of enclosed settlement common across early medieval Ireland, and this one contains what survives of a small subrectangular structure. The footprint runs roughly five metres east to west and somewhere between seven and eight metres north to south, occupying the south-east quadrant of the interior. Of whatever once stood here, only the northern wall and the eastern wall can still be traced.

The position of the structure is itself telling. Buildings within cashels were frequently arranged to make use of the enclosure wall as a shared boundary, which conserved labour and material. Whether this particular house was a dwelling, a storage building, or something else entirely is impossible to say from what remains. The dating is equally elusive, described simply as indeterminate, which places it somewhere in a broad sweep of Irish history during which cashels were in use, roughly from the early medieval period onwards, though some continued to be occupied or modified well into later centuries. The slight nature of the surviving walls suggests the structure was not heavily built, or that centuries of exposure and, possibly, stone robbing have reduced it considerably.
