The National Monuments Service's description
At Ross rath (SL019-082001-). In the external face of the bank at W is a lintelled, stone-lined opening (Wth. 0.5m) giving access to a largely infilled passage or chamber extending in a NE direction. Within the interior of the rath, c.12m NE of the entrance to the souterrain, is a small hole (Wth. 0.2m) within a shallow depression. A stone-filled cavity is visible beneath the hole.
