The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a rath (MA062-100001). There is a collapsed/roofless souterrain passage in the N half of the rath interior. It is evident as a grassed-over, linear depression (Wth 1-1.7m; D 0.6m) which extends from the rath scarp at N for 3m to SSE, then swings to S for 8m. Remnants of stone facing are visible at the N end.
