The National Monuments Service's description
A souterrain in the centre of a ringfort (TN020-152003) was uncovered durng excavation by Donald Murphy in the year 2000. The souterrain consists of a single rectangular chamber connected to a possible creep to the NW. The chamber had partially collapsed and had clearly been disturbed, as the side-walls had been robbed of stone in recent years. A number of wooden planks were uncovered at the base of the chamber, as well as a single large wooden beam or lintel. A C 14 date of AD 661-8 was obtained from this beam (Bennett 2002, 326).
