Whether it still exists in any meaningful sense is, at this point, genuinely unclear. By 2001, anyone looking for it would have found nothing at all on the surface.

The souterrain sits, or sat, within a rath, a roughly circular earthen enclosure representing the remains of an early medieval farmstead. The combination is not unusual; souterrains are frequently found within raths across Ireland, their entrances deliberately narrow and easy to block. What is unusual here is the documented trajectory of disappearance. A researcher named McCaffrey, writing in 1952, noted that the souterrain was already blocked up at that point. When someone went to inspect it in March 1971, the mouth was still visible in the northern sector of the enclosure interior, though it was partly blocked and could not be entered. By October 2001, a further inspection found no visible surface trace whatsoever. Over roughly fifty years, a feature that was blocked but present became, to all outward appearances, simply gone.
