What is recorded here
In undulating pastureland. When initially visited by the Survey in March 1983, this Man-made underground passage consisted of a
drystone-built chamber (L 4.6m; Wth 1.6m) running NW-SE. Access was gained via an opening at the SE end. There was some collapse at the NW end but beyond this more roof lintels indicated the possible presence of a creep and a second chamber. The chamber was subsequently filled in during land reclamation and no visible surface trace survives. (McCaffrey 1952, 212, no. 42)
