The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (MA050-016001-). There is a roughly square depression (8.7m E–W; 7.8m N–S; D 0.45m) in the centre of the rath. A number of large stones protruding from the base of the depression on its E side, and on the S side there is a lintelled opening (Wth 1.05m; H 0.4m) to a souterrain passage of drystone construction. The passage appears to slope down gently, extending on a slight curve to S or SSE.
