Located in the W half of a rath (MA070-209----). The souterrain appears as an irregular, grass-covered surface hollow (max. dim. c. 15m N-S; c. 10m E-W) on the WSW side of the rath. A portion of drystone walling and a broken roof lintel are exposed. According to local information, the souterrain contains three chambers.
