The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW quadrant of a rath (GA106-022001-). An undated report records the presence of an L-shaped souterrain '9 paces [c. 6.8m] N-S; 18 [c. 13.6m] E-W' with a 'lintelled roof' (SMR file). It has since collapsed and is now indicated by a heavily overgrown L-shaped hollow.
