The National Monuments Service's description
A possible souterrain is located to the E of Carns cashel (SL014-234001-), in an area of heavy undergrowth. The site consists of a rectangular cut in bedrock (L 4.1m; Wth 1.43m; D 1.1m), orientated E-W. The cut is three sided (N, E and S) and its possible terminus to the W could not be examined because of dense vegetation. There is no trace of cap stones and the site has been recently used to burn refuse.
