The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE068-015----). An oval depression (2.9m E-W; 2.2m N-S), with wire mesh in its base, in the S half of the rath, closes the entrance to the souterrain for safety reasons. According to local information, the opening leads to a stone-lined passage ( L c. 9m; Wth c. 0.8m; H c. 0.8m), which leads E to a chamber and then turns to the S.
