The National Monuments Service's description
Located within the NE quadrant of the interior of a possible cashel (CL008-011----), and adjacent to a house site (CL008-011003-), this souterrain is marked on Robinson's (1977) map. It comprises a nettle-filled hollow (7m NE-SW; 3.5m NW-SE). Several large limestone slabs lying on the surface here may be displaced lintels.
