This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Within the S half of the interior of a cashel (GA096-114----). Described by Redington (1916a, 53) as the 'mouth of a Man-made underground passage passage' that was constructed of large stones. Also noted by McCaffrey (1952, 159, no. 88). On inspection the monument was completely overgrown and obscured and no visible trace of the Man-made underground passage was noted.
