The National Monuments Service's description

This souterrain was discovered in 2000 during pipe-laying for the Clonakilty water supply scheme. It consists of at least 2 chambers. Chamber 1 (c. 3m x c. 2.5m; H c. 1.2m), which is earth- and rock-cut, was entered through an opening which had been cut by machinery in its W side. At its W end was a construction shaft (Wth c. 2m), blocked up with stones. A blocked creepway (Wth c. 1.8m) at the E end of the chamber leads S to a second chamber. Chamber 2 is inaccessible as its roof has collapsed into it. A portion of a construction shaft is visible in its NW end. (Lane 2000a)

The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
