The National Monuments Service's description
Located on top of a low hill, possibly within a rath (SL016-0680001-). An area of collapse allows visual access to a drystone passage (Wth 0.7m) which inclines downwards in a NE direction and also extends to SW. At least one 'in situ' stone lintel is visible. Twelve metres SW is a low circular mound of stones (diam. 3m; H 0.5m) enclosing a central area of collapse in which a large stone lintel is visible.
