The National Monuments Service's description

Located slightly to S of centre in rath (SL009-008001-). The hut site consists of a slightly raised circular area (diam. 6m) defined by a scarped edge (ext. H 0.3m). Occasional irregularly shaped stones are set in the scarped edge. The interior slopes down slightly to S. Mature thorn bushes, widely spaced grow along the top of the scarped edge. There is a souterrain (SL009-008003-) located 4m NNW of the hut site.
