The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (MA062-089001). A collapsed length of souterrain passage is located in the slightly raised SW quadrant of the rath. It is evident as an oblong depression (8.6m NE−SW; 2.3m NW−SE; D 0.65m) with a deeper cavity (D c.1m) at the SW end, from which two stone slabs protrude. These slabs appear to be roof lintels.
