The National Monuments Service's description
Situated within an enclosure (WA002-023001-). Discovered in 1960 and recorded by A. B. Ó Riordáin (NMI file) as an oblong corbelled chamber (dims. 4.4m E-W; 2.6m N-S; original H c. 1.8m) with a blocked exit at W, and a creep at E leading to a second corbelled chamber (dims. 2.85m E-W; 2m N-S; max. H 1.45m) roofed with lintels. A creep at the E end of this chamber leads to a collapsed passage. The souterrain is now closed.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
