The National Monuments Service's description
In the ENE sector of a rath (GA0106-060----). This drystone-built souterrain appears to be L-shaped in plan. The 1st passage (L >4.4m; Wth 1.6m) runs NW-SE. Access is gained at its NW end. A linear depression, with evidence of drystone-walling, indicates that that it extended further to the NW. The 2nd passage, which is inaccessible, extends from its SE end and it appears to run E-W.
