The National Monuments Service's description
In the W half of a rath (GA097-047----). This drystone-built souterrain (L 11.5m), running N-S, has almost completely collapsed and only a short section (L 1.5m; Wth 1.5m) remains intact around its mid-point. Collapsed roof lintels are visible in the N half. The S half consists of a depression within which traces of the side-walls are evident.
