The National Monuments Service's description
Located roughly in the centre of a destroyed cashel (MA072-087----). An opening (0.45m E–W; 0.2m N–S) at ground surface reveals a subterranean passage (Wth 0.65m; H 1m) of drystone construction with lintel roofing. The passage, which is oriented N−S, is partly blocked with stones and inaccessible. A stone slab protruding from the sod 8m to S may mark the line of the passage.
