The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in the N interior of a cashel (CL008A004----), this collapsed and dug-out souterrain comprises a curving trench (est. L c. 5m NNW-SSE; max. D 1m) with remains of a drystone wall visible in the E side, and a single stone set near the N end which may be part of the N wall of a chamber. A shallower depression (L 2m) lies immediately S of the trench. Along the upper E edge of the trench is a low earthen mound (Wth 1.5m), which appears to be spoil from when the souterrain was dug out.
