The National Monuments Service's description
Within Ballinamuck village. This souterrain was partially exposed in 1998 during pipe-laying in the main street (Archaeology Ireland 1998, 12(2), 6). It comprised one chamber with at least two passages running off it. Both the chamber and the passages were constructed of drystone masonry and roofed with large, flat slabs. It has since been infilled.
