The National Monuments Service's description
At a rath (SL012-077001-). In the E half of the rath interior is a hut site. It consists of a square or subrectangular area (5.3m N–S; 5m E-W) defined on the S, W and N sides by a low bank (Wth 1.9m; H 0.35m) of earth and stone. Adjoining the N side, and sharing its bank on that side, is a second hut site (SL012-077002-). The E side of both hut sites appears to have been dug away, leaving an abrupt drop in ground level of c. 1-1.5m on that side.
