The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope and inside the perimeter of rath (RO047-012001-) at NW. A semi-circular cairn is mentioned by Gannon (1972), but no longer survives. It is unlikely to be an antiquity. Also, given the undisturbed appearance of the site it is unlikely to have been removed and it may survive in the growth.
