The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape with a small NE-SW stream just to the E. A souterrain passage became partly visible in September 1970. It consisted of an inaccessible passage extending NE and turning N where it was blocked by collapse. The passage walls were composed of small stones and they corbelled in under lintels.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
