In the NW quadrant of a rath (SL034-097001-). A linear stone-lined passage (long axis E-W) with a lintelled roof, leads westwards to a circular stone-lined chamber (diam. 1.6m; H 0.8m) which is adjacent to the bank of the rath. Prof. R. A. S. Macalister, in an unpublished report dated 1911, noted that the passage was divided into two by a partition with a lintelled creepway (SMR (1989) file).
