The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (SL011-136----). Circular area (diam. 5.5m) defined by a low bank (Wth 1.4m; H 0.3m). Stones protrude from the sod cover on the bank. On the E side the enclosing bank of the hut site coincides with the enclosing scarp of the rath, with a drop in height of 0.85m. There is a narrow entrance gap in the bank at N which opens onto the rath scarp.
