The National Monuments Service's description
In heavily overgrown pasture, to the N of a field boundary, c. 5m NW of a stream. There are no visible remains of this souterrain. The landowner recalls that it was stone-lined and lintelled and that some stones were removed during drainage works. The area is now very disturbed. A possible rath (KE066-055001-) lies c. 8m to the NNE. Two fulachtaí fia (KE066-054----, KE066-056----) are c. 95m to the SW and c. 90m to the NE, respectively.
