The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a NW-facing slope of Croughaun Hill. An L-shaped, man-made passage (total L c. 4m; Wth 1-1.4m; H 1-1.5m) is excavated through rock into the NE bank of a SE-NW stream. It curves around to the NW and begins to sink. There is no evidence of a spoil heap.
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.
