Situated at the outer edge of a rock outcrop terrace on a W-facing slope and SW of the centre of cashel (MO027-038----). This is a T-shaped depression, consisting of a narrow channel (dims 10.3m N-S; 2m E-W; max. D 0.7m), with a short central spur (dims 2.8m E-W; 3m N-S; max. D 0.8m) extending E, and it is probably a destroyed souterrain.
