The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the SW quadrant of a rath (MA071-178----), in an area of disturbance marked by small quarry pits and badger sets, there is a sunken area (Wth 2m; D 0.2-0.4m) which may be the location of a souterrain. A number of large stones and slabs protruding from or lying on the base of the hollow may be displaced roof lintels.
