The National Monuments Service's description

At a possible rath (MA103-040001-). Towards the NW edge of the probable original extent of the partly levelled rath, there are two conjoined hollows, on a N-S line, each ringed by a low rim/bank (Wth c. 2m; H 0.3-0.65m), producing an overall ‘figure of eight’ configuration. The southern-most hollow (MA103-040003-) is poorly defined. This, the northern-most hollow (overall diam. c. 5m, int. c. 3m; D c. 0.3m) is more clearly defined. However, the interior is partly filled with loose field stones, and cannot be fully examine. It may be a hut site associated with the rath.
