The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the S half of a cashel (MA093-002001-). A linear depression (L 5m; Wth 1.1m; D 0.3-0.4m), on a NNE–SSW axis, represents a collapsed souterrain passage. Sections of the drystone side walls are visible in parts, and two lintels remain in situ at the SSW end. It is partly sod-covered and largely infilled with stones and domestic refuse.
