Clochán (Cell) C described in 1996 as follows; ''Clochaun C: The masonry of the S external angle of this structure surmounts that of the adjoining clochaun B [KE104A001033-]. The clochaun measures 2.85m x 2.45m internally at the level of its flagged floor, which slopes down towards the doorway and contains a covered drain. The doorway is 1.34m high, and inclines in elevation from a basal width of 0.64m to 0.5m under the head. The dome of the roof is closed by a single slab and is 3.55m high' (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 278-90, no. 948 (7)).
