The National Monuments Service's description
At the bottom of a river ravine, running under the wall of a ruined mill. A drystone passage with a lintelled roof. The mouth of the passage is 0.6m wide and 0.5m high. While it might be a souterrain this is rather doubtful and it is more likely to be connected to the mill. (CLAJ 1930, 181; CLAJ 1956, 447)
