The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the W half of a rath (MA022-067----). A shallow linear depression (Wth 1.4-2m; D 0.4m) is evident close to the bank on the W side of the rath interior. It extends to NNW for 5m, then turns to NE, continuing through the NW quadrant for c. 8m. It is possible that this represents a collapsed souterrain. It is grassed-over, with no structural features evident.
