The National Monuments Service's description
In W half of a ringfort (GA070-045----). A well-preserved drystone-built souterrain, roughly T-shaped in plan, consisting of two chambers connected by a creep. Access is gained via an opening at E end of 1st chamber (L 7.75m, Wth 1.75m) which runs E-W. Some 5m W of the present entrance, the creep (L 1.47m Wth 0.86m) extends off S wall and leads to 2nd chamber (L 6.4m, Wth 1.73m max.) which runs at a right angle on a N-S axis.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
