The National Monuments Service's description
Located within the NW quadrant of a rath (GA106-050----), this souterrain is indicated by an L-shaped depression (L >12.9m), the long axis (L 7.2m; Wth 1.2m) of which runs N-S. The short axis (L 5.7m) extends from its NE end and runs E-W. Traces of drystone-walling are visible intermittently. A linear depression (L 4.8m Wth 1.5m) 1m further to the E is probably associated.
