The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW sector of a rath (KD008-011001-). In 1972, a depression running along the inside of the rath's inner bank was interpreted as the possible line of a souterrain (SMR file). There is no longer any visible surface trace of this feature and the interior of the rath, described as uneven and undulating in 1972, is now level and under pasture.
