The National Monuments Service's description
Within the N half of a cashel (CL009-084017-). A collapsed section of a souterrain passage (L 4m; Wth c. 1m, max. D 0.7m), oriented E-W, is exposed. Some drystone walling is visible on the S side. The passage may extend further to the E (L 7.5m; Wth 1.5m) but this is unclear.
