The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW quadrant of a rath (MA071-001----).
A linear surface depression (Wth 2-3.7m; D 0.6m) extends for 9m from the rath scarp at SW through the interior to NE. At its SW end a stone slab projects horizontally from the external face of the rath scarp at a depth of c. 1m below the interior surface. These features may indicate a souterrain.
