In a rath (KE048-088----). A slab-covered opening (c. 0.65m E-W; c. 0.55m N-S) in the bank of the rath at NW, leads into a stone-lined corbelled chamber (1.9m N-S; 1.7m E-W) roofed with a single slab. A creepway (H 0.6m; Wth 0.3m), the walls and roof of which are lined with single stones, extends to the SE from the chamber. An earth-cut passage (L c. 4m; Wth c. 1m) extends to the SE, beyond the creepway. The passage narrows towards the SE end where some collapse was noted. The floor at the SE end is raised by infill. According to the landowner, a slab covering the stone-built chamber was revealed during ploughing in the 1970s and at that time the passage was partially dug out in an attempt to trace it further.
