The National Monuments Service's description

In the interior of a rath (SL019-137001-). Close to the inner face of the rath bank at NW is a series of hollows which extend for c. 14m in a SE direction. Probing at the sides of the hollows revealed possible drystone walling. These areas of surface collapse may indicate an underlying souterrain.
