The National Monuments Service's description
Located on top of a drumlin and inside the perimeter of rath (MO027-046----) at NW. A N-S depression that cuts through the bank is probably a robbed souterrain. It consists of a grass-covered channel (dims 6.4m NNW-SSE; 2.5m E-W; D 1m) with a spur (L 4.5m; Wth 3.3m; D 1.4m) extending W from its centre.
