In a levelled rath (CO050-093001-). This souterrain was discovered in 2000 when a large stone was displaced causing the ground to collapse into a stone-built chamber. The resulting opening (1.32m x 1.05m) allows easy access to a rectangular chamber (4m NE-SW; 1m NW-SE; H 1.45m). The walls of the chamber are lined with roughly coursed stones and it is roofed with seven lintels. Five lintels remain in situ and two have fallen into the chamber. At the NE end of the chamber is a creepway (Wth 0.47m; H c. 0.5m), roofed with a single lintel, and blocked with collapsed stones.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
