The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE058-089----). According to the landowner, a mound in the N quadrant of the rath marks the location of a souterrain. This souterrain was covered by a millstone with a perforated centre and when it was removed some clay pipes were found in the chamber. These were subsequently returned to the souterrain and the millstone was replaced. There are no visible remains of this souterrain.
