The National Monuments Service's description
In the centre of a rath (MA071-053001-.)
A low, sod-covered rectangular platform (6m NE−SW; 7.6m NW−SE) defined by a sod-covered stony scarp (H 0.4m), which has a slight internal lip (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.1m). It’s function is uncertain, but it may be the remains of a house.
A souterrain (MA071-053002) is located immediately to SW of the platform. A low stony scarp (H 0.4m), extends from the E corner of the house to the rath scarp at SE, demarcating a slight drop in ground level in the SE quadrant of the rath.
