The National Monuments Service's description
Possible souterrain described by Cuppage (1986, 181, no. 521) as follows; 'Cloghaunnanoon/Clochán na nUamhan: This roughly circular ringfort [KE042-058----] is situated in the low-lying crescent of land that surrounds Smerwick Harbour, about 100m N of the early ecclesiastical site at Reask (KE042-060001-). The name of the site (uamhain = cave) suggests the presence of a souterrain'.
