Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'Field System'. A ruined 18th/19th-century rectangular house (int. 8.8m E-W; 3.5m N-S) is located in the intervening space between the SE walls of the cashel (SL019-176001-). The stone-built house is gable-ended and is sub-divided into three rooms. There are wall cupboards in the thickness of the walls but no fireplace is evident. There is a window and doorway in the S wall. A second structure of similar size but of irregular in plan is located a few meters to W. The modification/rebuilding of the cashel walls, and various small subdivisions of the intervening space between the two cashel walls, are most likely associated with this settlement. A pattern of subrectangular fields, indicated on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map, links this house with the ruins of another settlement of two houses located on a terrace, c. 300-400m upslope to SE. The fields, on a NE-SW axis, are generally subrectangular and are enclosed by ruined drystone walls (Wth 0.8-1m). They conform to the undulating local topography of irregular bedrock terraces and scarps.
