The National Monuments Service's description

According to local information, there is a souterrain here (SMR file). When visited in 1992 the area consisted of rough grassland. A golf course was being developed to the N and the 1st green was c. 80m to the NE. No visible surface trace of it was noted. A housing estate has since been built here and the possible souterrain may have been filled in or covered over.
