The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (MA063-008----). The interior of the rath was used for the burial of unbaptized babies. According to local information, two small surface concentrations of stones, visible in the N half of the interior, are graves; one is located close to the rath scarp at N, and the other is at NE, adjacent to a hawthorn tree growing on the E−W field wall that crosses the rath.
