The National Monuments Service's description
Within the NW quadrant of a cashel (GA128-072001-). This souterrain has collapsed and is marked by a linear stone-filled depression (L >6.2m; Wth 1.2m) running NE-SW. Traces of the side-walls survive at its NE end. It curves slightly to the S at the SW end where it is blocked by stones and a tree.
