The present entrance is by an excavation from the SE end of souterrain (RO028-136002-), but the creep at the E end suggests that it has another, outer chamber/ passage. The W wall of the chamber has an air-vent (dims 0.4m x 0.25m; L 2m). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 5 November 2018

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
