A passage 3.5 feet high, and 2.5 feet wide (c. 1.05m x c. 0.75m) leads from the chamber in an easterly direction… I found that after leading 25 feet (c. 7.6m) it suddenly curved, and after passing a few feet farther it narrowed, and curving upwards, apparently towards the surface, was terminated by a large stone’ (O’Connell 1920). It is still extant in a small oval wood. he above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
