The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the bottom of the steep SW-facing slope of a NW-SE drumlin ridge towards the SE end, and c. 75m SW of rath (MO029-021----). According to local information a stone-built passage was found when a field bank was removed and a stone at the location produces a ‘hollow sound’ still said to be present. The precise location is not known.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
