The National Monuments Service's description
In the W sector of a rath (RO009-050001-). Visible in 1971 as a large opening between two very thick capstones which revealed a hollow (D c. 2m) used as a domestic rubbish dump. A flagstone c. 15m to the N may have been associated with it (Gannon 1972). It is no longer open.
