The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (MA072-019). This possible house is evident as a circular concentration (diam. 5.7m) of stones, located slightly to E of centre in the rath interior, in an area strewn with loose stone. Its perimeter is defined by a ring of stones, best preserved on the W half, which may represent rough wall footings (Wth 0.8m). It is partly obscured by hazel scrub and difficult to examine; it may simply be a heap of field clearance stones. Two lines of stones, which appear to be ruined walls, radiate from the circular feature to NW (Wth 1m) and NE (Wth 0.6m) to the enclosing scarp of the rath.
