The National Monuments Service's description
In the interior of a rath (MA071-114----).
A linear depression (L 10m N−S; Wth 2.5m; max. D 0.6m) extends from the scarp on the S arc of the rath into the interior to N. A large slab protrudes the base. This may be the remains of a collapsed souterrain. A second linear depression (L c. 10m NE−SW; Wth 2.5m; D 0.45m) is located a few meters to W; it extends from the rath scarp at the SW through the interior to NE. The two depressions do not intersect.
