What is recorded here
In pasture, on a SW-facing slope. A recent collapse of earth resulted in a roughly circular opening (0.45m NNE-SSW; 0.43m ESE-WNW) which gives access to a roughly oval earth-cut chamber (0.86m x 0.74m; min. D 0.9m). A creepway (L c. 0.33m; min. Wth 0.2m) leads to the SSW from the chamber but it was inaccessible due to an accumulation of spoil from the collapse.
