What is recorded here
This rectangular building (12.2m E-W; 4.9m N-S) which is part of the monastic complex known as na Seacht Teampaill/the Seven Churches is c. 25m to the NE of Teampall Bhreacáin/Temple Brecan (GA110-010001-). It is constructed of mortared limestone masonry and remains of the E, S and W walls (max. H 1.4m) survive. The line of the N wall is indicated by a few stones. There is a simple lintelled doorway in the S wall with a rectangular window to the E of it. A niche is visible in the W wall (Waddell 1973, 12, Building A). This building is very similar to Building F (GA110-010011-). (Gosling 1993, 63, no. 349)
