What is recorded here
Within the NW quadrant of a cashel (GA103-049----). This largely collapsed drystone-built Man-made underground passage consists of a chamber running NNW-SSE. Access is gained at its NNW end. A section of collapse (L 4m) to the NNW of the access point indicates that the chamber continued further in that direction. A plan drawn by Knox and Redington (1916, 182-4) suggests that the Man-made underground passage consists of three chambers connected by two drop-hole creeps. (McCaffrey 1952, 203, no. 88)
