The National Monuments Service's description
Within the S sector of the interior of a cashel (GA097-156----). This possible souterrain is indicated by the clear line of what may be a stone wall, aligned E-W, and some slabs that could be fallen roof lintels. However, it is much obscured with field-clearance rubble that has been dumped here (SMR file).
