The National Monuments Service's description
Within the NW quadrant of a cashel (GA128-082----). This partially collapsed drystone-built souterrain (L >9.8m), consisting of three chambers, is roughly F-shaped in plan. Access is gained at the W end of the 1st chamber (L 3m; Wth 1.1m; H 1.5m) which runs E-W. The 2nd chamber (L 5m) extends from the E end of its S side-wall and runs N-S, extending 1m to the N of the junction with the 1st chamber. A 3rd chamber (L 1.8m; Wth 1.4m), which survives as a rubble-filled depression, extends southwards from near the W end of S side-wall of the 1st chamber.
