The National Monuments Service's description
Milligan (1890-1, 575) referred to a souterrain within a rath (SL008-098----). A large roughly rectangular stone (L 1.2m; Wth 0.8m; T 0.5m) of uncertain significance lies on top of the bank at NNW. Otherwise there is no evidence suggestive of a souterrain visible at ground level.
