The National Monuments Service's description

Located towards the top of the NW-facing slope of the spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge, and inside the bank of rath (MO027-050----) at NW. A sunken area (L 6m; Wth 2.4m; D 0.6m) extends SE from a break in the bank with a spur (L 6.5m; Wth 2m; D 0.5m) extending N from a point close to its SE end. It is probably a collapsed souterrain, although no stone is present.
