The National Monuments Service's description
In poorly drained pasture, in a slight depression. According to the landowner, a flagged floor consisting of well-selected small stones, was discovered c. 1m below ground level, during drainage works. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain. A possible fulacht fia (KE066-114----) lies c. 100m to the SE.
