The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope and at the centre of rath (RO047-012001-). Gannon (1972) describes a semi-rectangular moss-covered heap of stones as a possible structure. It is not present now, and is unlikely to be an antiquity. Also, given the undisturbed appearance of the monument it is unlikely to have been removed.
