The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a level landscape c. 80m from the NE shore of Lough Errew and c. 140m NNW of rath (LE036-003----). Archaeological monitoring (03E1761) over a wide area W and N of Lough Errew identified numerous archaeological features that could be preserved in situ, including this possible souterrain. A lintelled passage or covered drain (L 7.2m E-W) with a large lintel over an opening (Wth 0.7m) at its E end came to light. It was not opened and is preserved in situ. (Read 2004, 11, No. 17)
