Close to the track leading to Poulawack (County Clare) is a small rath. If you look closely you will see a gaping hole in the near wall. This is the souterrain.
This hole opens into a large chamber, 4m x 1.6m x 2m, integral to the wall. It is heavily lintelled. On the inside wall is a small opening or creep which leads into the very collapsed passage section that goes into the centre of the rath. This 6m long pasage twists and turns and I suspect follows a natural large fissure in the limestone. This too is lintelled.
