The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (MA040-053001). A souterrain, indicated as ‘Cave’, is shown in the S half of the interior on the 1922 OS 6-inch map. There is no definitive trace of this now at ground surface. A small, shallow circular surface depression (diam. 1.4m; D 0.2m) is evident slightly SE of centre; this might be surface subsidence related to the souterrain.
