The National Monuments Service's description
A curving hollow (L 4.7m; Wth 2.5m) noted in the E half of a field in Treanmacmurtagh (SL040-216001-) was interpreted by the fieldworker as a possible collapsed souterrain chamber (SMR (1989) file). However a re-inspection in 2002 revealed nothing that could be confidently classed as a souterrain or other archaeological feature.
