The National Monuments Service's description
In the E half of the interior of a rath (MA030-012----).
This possible hut site (4.8m E–W; 4.5m N–S) is roughly square in plan, defined by a slight, sod-covered bank (Wth c. 1m; H 0.2-0.3m). The remains are low and poorly defined. It is located at the E end of a low, rectangular raised area or platform (c. 11m E–W; c. 10m N–S) which occupies the E half of the rath interior.
