The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (MA052-003002-). The level interior of the rath has been used as a burial ground, and is marked as such on the 1838 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps. The highest density of graves appears to be in the W half of the interior, the majority of which appear to be 20th-century in date. There is an extension of the graveyard to W and S of the rath.
