The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a cashel (GA096-060----). Evidence for this possible souterrain consists of a roof lintel, which was visible in the external wall-face of the cashel at SW. It was inaccessible at the time of the site inspection but some collapsed material was visible behind it. There is no visible surface trace of it within the interior of the cashel. According to Cody (1989, 247-8, no. 75), it is locally believed that there is a souterrain in the interior.
