The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately to the E of a possible cashel (GA095-015----). This drystone-built chamber (L c. 7m; Wth 1.7) runs E-W. Access is gained via a flight of concrete steps at its W end. A small alcove (L 1.5m, Wth 0.7m) extends off the W end of its S side-wall but there is no evidence to suggest that it is a creep. A well has been sunk into the floor of chamber a short distance to the E of the point of access. (Redington 1912b, 174)
