The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE067-095001-). A roughly rectangular SE-facing entrance (Wth 0.9m; H 1m) is obscured by overgrowth. It leads down to a passage (Wth c. 1m; H 1m) roofed with lintels resting on partially collapsed stone walls. The passage leads 2.5m to the E and 4.5m to the W and reduces in size towards both ends.
