The site is tentatively identified as a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage or chamber typically built during the early medieval period in Ireland, used variously for storage, refuge, or ventilation of nearby settlement areas. What survives here at ground level is ambiguous: two runs of upright stone, each roughly three metres long and sixty centimetres high, lying about a metre apart, along with limestone slabs and surface openings in an area of approximately eight metres by eight metres. The qualification in the record is honest, that this may represent the remains of a souterrain, which is part of what makes the site quietly interesting.

The structure sits within a cashel, a type of early medieval stone-walled enclosure, itself embedded in a wider field system that speaks to sustained agricultural use of this landscape over centuries. Ordnance Survey maps from both 1897 and 1916 mark the feature, suggesting it was already visible and noted by the late nineteenth century, though it appears to have attracted little attention since. The cashel that contains it is not isolated; a second cashel stands roughly 88 metres to the west-northwest, which points to a more densely organised early settlement pattern in this part of County Clare than the present overgrown terrain might suggest. The low-lying limestone pavement setting, characteristic of the Burren's fringes, means the archaeology sits exposed to the elements but also screened from casual view by encroaching vegetation, overlooked from all sides according to those who have examined it.
