Visible on aerial photograph (OS: 2/4209), and situated towards the bottom of the N-facing slope of a WNW-ESE ridge. Circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 42m N-S; 41.6m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.4-4.2m; int. H 0.3-0.7m; ext. H 0.8-1m) E-SW which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.7-0.9m) elsewhere, and a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 1.5-2m; D 0.2m) which is slightly truncated by a NNE-SSW field drain at W. The entrance (Wth 2.6m) and causeway (Wth 3m) are at ENE. There is a slight grass-covered mound (RO021-042048-) (diam. 9m; H 0.3m) at the centre, which may be spoil from a NNE-SSW drain just to its E.

The full extent of the souterrain was exposed (11E0330) and recorded by Niall Brady, for which see: Excavations.ie (2011:530). It consists of an entrance passage (L 4.8m), a creep (L 1.6m), and a lintelled chamber (L 4.8m; Wth 1.1m; H 1.15m) with an air-vent in the end-wall that emerges on the outer face of the rath bank. Five narrow steps lead down to the floor of the unroofed entrance passage (D 1.6m). See the attached image taken c. 1998 looking towards the creep.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
