The National Monuments Service's description
Located in improved pasture toward the top of a slight SW-facing slope and at the centre of rath (RO011-179----). Magnetic gradiometry and earth resistance surveys identified a subcircular area of medium resistance (diam. c. 8m) that could be interpreted as a hut-site while a central feature within it could be a hearth or a pit. Areas of high resistance outside the hut to the W and S could represent areas of paving. (Curran 2016)
