The National Monuments Service's description
The beehive chamer of a small souterrain was discovered in 1998 (Anon. 1998). Approximiately 10m west of this, the roofstones of another souterrain were exposed in September 2014 in the course of excavating foundation trences for a house extension. It is possible that both structures are connected (O'Connell 2014).
