The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE068-001001-). A possible souterrain was recorded in the 1940s as a 'big hole in the ground in the middle [of] an old fort' in Tom Daly's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). A depression, and an adjacent large stone, in the NE quadrant of the rath may mark its location.
