The National Monuments Service's description
Located slightly W of centre in the interior of a rath (MA072-065----).
An opening (max. dim 0.5m) at ground surface reveals a subterranean drystone passage (Wth c. 0.85; H c. 0.42) with lintel roofing. Further areas of grassed-over surface collapse suggest that the passage extends for 8m to WSW towards the enclosing bank of the rath.
