Keatinge (1858-9, 12) refers to the souterrain as being on the E side of the ringfort and describes it as 'a passage or way within the rath, and on the inner side of this passage I found more than one half of a little building, of the rudest stones, but still showing great tact and ingenuity in the erection of a bell or beehive-shaped entrance to the rath. At the bottom, a passage, choked somewhat with debris, leads into the fort, and some of the people in the immediate neighbourhood have gone in a short way', he goes on to describe how a local man 'entered with lights, and on going in a few yards through the sewer-like passage, he found it so enlarge so as to be able to stand erect. This man said that he found rooms of some extent and several small ones on the sides of the passage'. Associated with ringfort (TS071-023001-). No visible surface trace. Not depicted or named on 1st (1840) ed. or 2nd (1904) ed. OS 6-inch maps.
