What is recorded here
Situated on a rise, in a scrubby area of pasture, with commanding views of the surrounding landscape. Not depicted on OS mapping. In the S quadrant of enclosure (WM030-009002-) surrounding Creeve Castle (WM030-009001-) is a depression (H 0.6m; Wth 1.5m) which represents the entrance into a Man-made underground passage. The walls are built of drystone and they incline towards the roof which is constructed of large lintels. The bank of the earthwork has been disturbed at S, where a large lintel can be seen projecting from the bank. Monument is obscured today by scrub on Digital Globe aerial photography.
