Located on a NW-facing slope of Croughaun Hill. An L-shaped, man-made passage (total L c. 4m; Wth 1-1.4m; H 1-1.5m) is excavated through rock into the NE bank of a SE-NW stream. It curves around to the NW and begins to sink. There is no evidence of a spoil heap.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 02 November 2010
