The National Monuments Service's description
In the W half of a rath (MA030-043----).
The SW quadrant of the rath interior is at a higher level that the rest of the interior. At the N edge of this area there is a surface depression (Diam. c. 2m; D 0.6m), which may indicated the presence of a souterrain. There is a shallow dip at the inner edge of the rath bank c. 3m to W.
