The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the NW quadrant of a cashel (CL009-001001-), in an area cut off from the rest of the interior by a later field wall. Three large capstones (Wth 2-2.5m) visible on the ground surface indicate the presence of this souterrain. Gaps between the slabs revealed a drystone passage (L 3m; Wth 1.3m) oriented c. NE-SW. Undulations and depressions in the ground surface at both ends of the passage suggest that the rest of the souterrain has collapsed or has been quarried away.
