The National Monuments Service's description
One of two similar souterrains excavated in advance of development (Licence no. 06D0477). The entrances of the two souterrains opened towards each other. The western souterrain had a circular chamber with a small pit cut into the floor, and a main passage that ran northeast from the chamber before turning SE to the entrance (Corcoran 2009, 45).
