In a cashel (SL072-009001-).
This souterrain is indicated as ‘Cave’ in the W half of the ringfort interior on the 1930 OS 6-inch map. A stone slab, horizontally set, is exposed in the exterior face of the enclosing stone bank on the SW side of the ringfort. This appears to be an in situ roof lintel of the souterrain. Immediately to N of this, a shallow, grassed-over surface depression (L 1.6m NNE−SSW; Wth 1.2m) is evident in the ringfort interior, and a few meters to NNE of that is another surface depression ( L 3m NE−SW; Wth 2m; D 0.4m), at the NE of which a flat slab, probably another roof lintel, breaks the surface. These features trace the line of the souterrain. In the NE quadrant of the ringfort, there is larger, grassed-over depression (Wth 2-4m; D 0.8m) which extends for 12m on a NNW−SSE axis; no stones are evident, but this may also be part of the souterrain, possibly a collapsed passage or chamber.
