The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE038-033----), the most easterly of a pair of conjoined raths (see KE038-033002-). The souterrain is visible through an opening, which is covered by a large boulder, near the centre of the levelled rath. It is stone-lined and appears to extend in a roughly NW-SE direction.
