Within the N sector of a cashel (GA097-049----). This Man-made underground passage (L >13.5m) has collapsed and consists of two rectangular stone-filled depressions. That to E runs NNE-SSW (L 4m; Wth 1.8m). The other lies some 7m to WNW of its SW end. It runs NNW-SSE (L 2.5m). A number of displaced roof-lintels are visible in both depressions. The Man-made underground passage appears to have been L-shaped in plan though no visible surface trace of it survives between the junction of the two depressions.
