The National Monuments Service's description
Within the centre of a rath (GA128-047----). This drystone-built rectangular chamber (L 2.3m; Wth 1.2m; H 1.25) runs NE-SW. Access is gained at the NE end where some collapse has occurred. Two steps were noted protruding from the base of the collapsed material but it was unclear whether they were an original feature.
