The National Monuments Service's description

The remains of the souterrain are located on the SSW side of the interior of an enclosure (SL011-041001-). The souterrain is blocked and inaccessible. Two surface features are visible. The first is a roughly rectangular spread of small rubble stone (L NE-SW 6m; Wth NW-SE 1.5m) that appears to be a blocked up entrance feature. Immediately to the NE of the rectangular feature is a circular round bottomed depression (diam. 2m; D 0.2m) that could indicate a collapsed souterrain passage.
