Situated on a slight rise in a level landscape, with the fold of a small S-N steam just to the E. A souterrain was discovered during a clean-up of the graveyard in 1982 and was recorded by M. Clinton. The original entrance was in the bank of the rath (ME045-004002-) at N, and from here the N-S corbelled and lintelled passage (L c. 4m; Wth of base c. 0.8m; H c. 1m) proceeds S and curves slightly to the W as it enters an oval corbelled chamber (dims c. 3.5m NW-SE; c. 2.5m NE-SW; H 2.8m). This was closed by a single large capstone (dims 1.8m x 1.1m; T 0.2m) which was removed in 1982 when entry was gained. However, the capstone was damaged at that time and the souterrain is now sealed in concrete. (Feeley 2001, 53-4, No. 47)
