Man-made underground passage in Slatehill

A small tunnel on the S c. 0.75m in width and 0.6m in height leads to a chamber 3.3m x c. 1.3m and 1.4m in height. A second smaller opening leads off to the N. The walls are of drystone construction seemingly set against cut rock. The roof consists of flagstones laid on the corbelled walls. The Man-made underground passage is located in good pasture.
