The National Monuments Service's description
In the W half of a rath (MA038-091). A sunken or collapsed area (diam. c. 1m) is evident in the slope of the rath scarp at W. Several large stone slabs, which are tipping into it, appear to be displaced roof lintels of a souterrain. The souterrain may extend from here through the rath interior, as there is surface depression (2m E–W; 1.5m N–S; D 0.3m) 6m to E, from which a number of stones and slabs protrude, and c. 2m to NNW of that, is another irregular-shaped surface depression.
