The National Monuments Service's description
In a possible cashel (CO147-081001-). O'Donoghue (1986, 2) mentions that the cashel had 'extensive underground passages'. According to local information, a stone-lined underground passage was exposed during farm work. The area was subsequently covered in and there are no visible remains of this souterrain.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
