The National Monuments Service's description
There are traces of a possible hut-site in the N interior of rath (ME015-044----). It is visible as a sunken grass-covered area (diam. c. 10-11.5m; D 0.5m) defined by fragments of a bank at N, SE and SW. There are some relict field banks surviving in the S interior of the rath.
