The National Monuments Service's description
Within the W sector of a cashel (GA122-049----). This collapsed souterrain is indicated by an L-shaped depression (L >15m). The long axis (L 11m; Wth 2.9m) runs NE-SW and the short axis (L 4m) extends from its SE end and runs NW-SE. Traces of drystone-walling are visible as well as one possible roof lintel at the SW end of the long axis.
