The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW quadrant of the rath (MA071-068----).
A very shallow, grassed-over linear depression (Wth 3.6m; D 0.2m) extends from the rath scarp into the interior for 10.5m to the NE. Stones protrude from the sod at its SW end. Its significance is unclear, but it may be the remains of a souterrain.
