The National Monuments Service's description
In a cashel (MA063-026----). According to local tradition, there is souterrain in the cashel. A slight rise (diam. c. 5-6m) in the centre of the cashel interior is defined on its S edge by a row of c. 4 medium-sized stones. This may indicated the location of the souterrain. Otherwise there is no visible trace at ground level.
