The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle S-facing slope. Archaeological excavation (10E0301) in an arc (Wth c. 10-40m) outside the exclusion zone (Wth c. 20m) around the rath (RO008-023----) SW-W-NE recorded three drains or ditches (Wth 0.6-1.1m; D 0.2-0.25m) with some gaps approaching the rath from the W, N and NE. The last (L c. 40m) would connect the rath with an enclosure (RO008-023002-) that was partly excavated. (Kyle and Delaney 2011a, 4-5; Delaney et al. 2016, 86)
