The National Monuments Service's description

Located in two parts on the N side of the interior of Cashelgarran cashel (SL005-118001-). The first part consists of an irregular meandering channel (L NW-SE 8m; Wth top 0.6m; D 0.6m) partially filled with rubble stone that extends NW from E of centre in the cashel interior. The second part is located 1m within the inner cashel wall on the NW side of the interior and consists of a slight depression with a lintelled entrance (Wth 0.5m; H 0.2m) on the NW side. A passage with stone lined walls and roof extends in a NW direction from this entrance. It is now inaccessible.
