Within the SE quadrant of a rath (GA114-109----). This well-preserved drystone-built souterrain, which was the setting for an experimental archaeological project in 1979 (Fox 1980, 14-15), is roughly Z-shaped in plan. From the access point a passage extends to the E (L 5.56m) and to the N (L 9.7m; Wth 1.96m max.). The latter section leads to a chamber (L 6.55m; Wth 2.12m; H 1.6m ), running E-W, off its NW end. An air-vent is evident at the NE end of the passage. There is another souterrain (GA114-109002-) in the SW quadrant of the rath. (McCaffrey 1952, 285, no. 7)
