The farmstead of Laimhrig is situated on a terrace running parallel to the shore to the S of Bagh na h-Uamha; it comprises two well-preserved buildings which appear to overlie the remains of a third. Of the later buildings, the larger measures 5.7m by 2.9m within a wall 1m thick and 1.3m high, and it has a second compartment (4.2m by 2.2m internally) butted on to its N end; the smaller building measures 3.3m by 2.4m internally. The earlier building measures 6.7m by 2.8m within a wall 1.2m thick and 0.5m high. Adjacent to the buildings there are two enclosures.
