Largely swallowed by scrub, its lower walls rising no more than a metre and a half from the ground, it is a sweathouse, one of the more quietly remarkable categories of early Irish vernacular architecture and one that rarely makes it into any conversation about the country's heritage.

Sweathouses were Ireland's answer to the sauna, small stone-built chambers, typically corbelled or beehive-shaped, in which a fire would be lit and allowed to burn down to embers. The interior would then be swept clear, the user would crawl inside through a low entrance, and the residual heat would induce sweating thought to relieve rheumatism, joint pain, and various other ailments. They were a form of folk medicine rather than luxury, and most examples cluster in the north and midlands of Ireland, which makes a Limerick example of some geographical interest. This particular site was recorded by Caimin O'Brien, drawing on details provided by Micheál Mac Gearailt, and uploaded to the record in December 2020. Beyond the physical remains themselves, the notes do not provide a precise construction date or historical ownership.

At the time of survey the site was recorded as inaccessible, and there is little to suggest that has changed. The entrance to the sweathouse is still visible within the scrub-covered remains, but the structure sits on private farmland and should not be approached without permission from the landowner. For anyone with a particular interest in sweathouses as a type, the site is worth knowing about as part of the broader distribution of these structures across Ireland, even if a close inspection is unlikely to be possible. The overgrown lower walls, modest as they are, represent what survives of a once-practical tradition that left remarkably few traces across the landscape.
