Located immediately N of an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL001-001001-) known as the ‘Cashel’. Traditionally known as ‘Teachanalais’ (Teach an Allais or ‘sweat house’). This tiny cell or clochaun stands below the outer wall face of the Cashel on the north side.

The cell measures 1.5 wide within walls 0.5 m thick. It is 1 m high internally, 1.3 m overall (in fact the floor slopes upwards from the rear wall towards the entrance). The doorway is 0.6 m wide and 0.5 m high. Monks and pilgrims in an Atlantic landscape. Cork. The Collins Press.
