The National Monuments Service's description
Within the N half of the interior of a rath (LF010-042001-). According to local information, a horse is said to have fallen into a 'cave' in the rath in the 1940s. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a series of irregularly shaped depressions in the N half of the interior that may mark the site of a souterrain.
