The National Monuments Service's description
Within the WSW sector of a cashel (GA123-032----). This rectangular drystone-built passage (L 7.7m; Wth 1.5m; H 1.8m) runs NNW-SSE. Access is gained at its SSE end. An air vent (Wth 0.6m; H 0.15m) is visible in the NE side-wall, 2.5m from the entrance. Another possible example (Wth 0.5m; Wth 0.15m) occurs about midway along this wall.
