Excavated by P. Gosling in 1981 and restored by Dundalk UDC. The Man-made underground passage consists of a passage (L 4m, Wth 1.4m, H 0.9m) running S from the entrance, then turning into a gallery (L 12.3m overall, Wth 1.4m, H 0.9m) which runs E and then gently curves S. At the junction of the passage and gallery are niches in the walls from floor to roof which probably represent door jambs.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
