Crofton Croker shown position of 'the entrance to a passage or tunnel leading into the floor of that rath' (Gillman 1896, 421).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
