The National Monuments Service's description
In the rear garden of a house, on a NNW-facing slope. This possible souterrain was discovered in 2001 during the digging of a soak-pit. According to local information, it consisted of a stone-lined chamber (c. 6m NE-SW; H c. 1m), the roof of which was c. 1m beneath ground level. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain that was infilled prior to inspection.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
