The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE068-032----). According to local information, a souterrain was uncovered by drainage works many years ago but is now covered over. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain. It may be the 'cave' recorded in the 1940s in a rath in this townland (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry).
