The National Monuments Service's description
In the NE quadrant of a rath (GA106-077----). This drystone-built souterrain (L >10.1m) consists of a rectangular passage (L 4.1m; Wth 1.6m; max. H 1.38m) running NE-SW. Access is gained at the SW end where a section has collapsed. A linear depression (L 6m; Wth 2.7m) extending beyond the point of access indicates that the souterrain continued further to the SW.
