The National Monuments Service's description
At a rath (SL017-027001-). Against the inner face of the bank in the N of the rath is a slightly hollow rectangular area (8m E-W; c. 4m N-S). The N side is defined by the rath bank. The W and E sides are defined by inward-facing scarps marking a drop in interior ground level. The S side is open. It possibly marks the remains of a structure.
