The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a valley bottom, with a small N-S stream c. 130m to the W. There is a local tradition of the use of the rath (WX011-001001-) for burial c. 200 years ago, and it is known locally as the Old Graveyard (IFC: Schools’ Collection vol. 889, 133) but there is no physical evidence of burial.
