The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE058-080----). An opening (L c. 0.6m; H c. 0.5m) the SW quadrant of the rath reveals that the souterrain extends to the NE and SW. The SW section (Wth c. 1m; H c. 1m) is earth-cut and roofed with stone lintels. The NE section appears to be less extensive but it is obscured by collapse. Another inaccessible opening to the souterrain was identified c. 5.5m to the SW.
