The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE058-093001-). According to the landowner, there is a stone-capped cavern or creepway under the briars in the interior of the rath. A linear feature (L c. 5m; Wth 3m), on a NW-SE axis, which abuts the internal face of the inner bank at E, may be part of the souterrain. No trace of the souterrain was noted, however, when the interior of the rath was cleared in the 1990s during the construction of a house to the E of the rath.
