The National Monuments Service's description
Within the interior of a cashel (GA096-119----). According to Redington (1916a, 53), there were 'two apparent opes of souterrains' filled with rubble in the cashel. They were not visible when inspected by McCaffrey (1952, 160-61, no. 70). On inspection this area was so densely overgrown the monument could not be located.
