Ten metres long and eight metres wide, it survives as a low, stony bank, nowhere rising more than a metre above the ground, yet still legible enough to suggest two possible entrances, one at the south-west and a narrower gap at the south-east.

The building sits at the centre of a cashel, a type of early medieval stone-walled enclosure typically associated with a farmstead or small settlement. The cashel itself is a separate recorded monument, and this structure represents its domestic core, or at least part of it. To the east of the main building, a short right-angled spread of stone suggests a second internal structure once stood nearby, though too little survives to say much more about its form or function. The date of the house is formally recorded as indeterminate, meaning that without excavation, no one can say with confidence whether it belongs to the early medieval period associated with cashels elsewhere in Clare, or to some later phase of use entirely. The enclosure and the building may not even be contemporary with one another.
