The National Monuments Service's description
No trace of souterrain (KE028-003001-) could be identified inside cashel (KE028-003----). Souterrain described in 1991 as follows; 'It is covered with briars and reasonably accessible. it has a corbelled circular chamber with a wall recess and a possible creepway into it. The terrain is of weathered loose limestone and limestone outcrop with a very thin covering of soil and a steep aspect. It has recently been 'cleaned' up by a bulldozer and no evidence of a cashel is visible now' (SMR File 28/02/1991).
