The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE058-047----). This possible souterrain is indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map, immediately inside the bank of the rath at N. It is probably the 'Cavern', mentioned in the 1840s as being in a rath in the north end of Cleedagh townland (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 8). There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain.
