The National Monuments Service's description
Located on gently elevated ground, in the back garden of a modern bungalow. According to local information, a souterrain was uncovered here and then backfilled in the early 20th century. It consisted of a passage of dry-stone construction with lintel roofing, and extended on an NW-SE axis for c. 15m.
