What is recorded here
Situated towards the top a slight E-facing slope. A Man-made underground passage passage came to light through ploughing in the spring of 1989. It consists of a passage (exposed L 2.2m; Wth at base 0.86m; H 1.18m) blocked at NW and running SE to a subcircular (diam. 2.12-2.3m; max. H 1.7m) beehive chamber that was capped by two stones, one of which was dislodged by the ploughing (Clinton 1996, 31-2).
