In the SW part of a rath (MA062-036----).
Quarrying of the S portion of the rath has created a vertical section face (H 3.5m) at W close to a N−S field fence/townland boundary. Exposed in the section face at a depth of 0.65m below ground surface, is a horizontal stone slab or roof lintel, and directly below that, a vertical column (H 1.6m) of stones, one stone wide, which may be the drystone side wall of a souterrain passage or chamber. Flanking the N side of this wall, is a fill of brown earth (Wth 1m), which appears to relate to the souterrain as it differs from the natural sandy gravelly soil exposed elsewhere in the section face. In an unquarried part of the rath interior, close to the field fence, 3m to SW of the section face, a single large slab, possibly a roof lintel, protrudes from the sod-covered ground surface.
