The National Monuments Service's description
Located beneath the motte (ME008-032002-) and entered at the south. It consists of a drystone-built and lintelled passage (Wth of base 1m; Wth of top 0.7m; H 1.3m)) that curves to the E (L c. 20m), and it is collapsed at its further end.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
