The National Monuments Service's description
There is a local tradition of an underground ‘tunnel’ passage, possibly a souterrain, associated with an enclosure (KK024-081001-) which is now levelled (NMI Correspondence files 1961; O’Kelly 1969, 98). When visited in 1994 there was no indication of this feature at ground level.
