The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. This souterrain was discovered in 2005 when an opening (1m x 0.5m) resulted after the ground collapsed under the weight of a tractor wheel. The souterrain was inaccessible as the collapsed material made it impossible to enter the structure. A slight gap in the collapsed material made it possible to view two earth-cut chambers, one to the N and the other to the S.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
