Located on a W-facing slope on the E bank of the N-S River Tay and described as being c. 300m SSW of the castle site (WA024-043----). A souterrain was investigated in 1934 by L. Mongey (1934) when an oval chamber (dims. c. 4.36m x c. 2.4m) with a passage (L c. 3m) was uncovered. Many of the lintels were lying in the passage, including one stone with an ogham inscription (WA024-080003-). The exact location of the souterrain is now unknown. (Macalister 1935)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
