The National Monuments Service's description
Within the N sector of the interior of a rath (GA122-026----). The possible house site (L 5m; Wth 4.5m) is almost square in plan and is defined by a low grassed-over stony bank which abuts the inner face of the bank. A couple of stones protruding through the sod cover within it suggest an internal division. Another house (GA122-026001-) is evident in the W sector.
