A cashel is a stone-walled enclosure, typically of early medieval date, built to define and defend a farmstead or settlement. The structures within this one are described cautiously as what could be house-sites, a qualifier that speaks to how little survives and how difficult interpretation becomes when walls have long since collapsed or been robbed for other purposes.

The example recorded here measures approximately 6.8 metres by 6 metres, with walls around a metre thick. Those proportions are modest but not unusual for a small stone dwelling of indeterminate age. The thick walls relative to the internal floor area suggest something built to last, or at least built with available field stone and no particular economy of effort. A companion structure lies nearby within the same enclosure. Writing in 1995, Toal noted both sites together, treating them as a pair and leaving their date open. That caution is honest: without excavation, a rectangular stone scatter inside a cashel could belong to the cashel's original occupation, to a later reuse of the enclosure, or to something else entirely.
