The National Monuments Service's description
Within the W sector of the interior of a rath (GA122-026----). This rectangular house site (N-S; L 10m; Wth 4m), with an internal dividing wall, is defined by a low grassed-over stony bank (c. 1.8-2.2m; H 0.3m). The W limits of the house are obscured by slippage of the bank of the rath. A lot of field-clearance material has been dumped into the interior, particularly the S half. Another house (GA122-026002-) is evident in the N sector.
