In the NW sector of an ecclesiastical enclosure (CL005-027001-). A well-preserved souterrain with one chamber (L 7.7m; H 1.58m; Wth 1.7-2m) aligned WNW-ESE. An opening at the WNW end is set in a hollow (L 2.5m; Wth 2m; D 1.2m). The sidewalls are built of round and flat stones, almost vertical but with some corbelling at the very top. The souterrain is roofed by eight impressive lintels. Near the E end of the N wall there is a niche (L 0.84m; H 0.3m; D 0.7m) roofed by a single flagstone, cracked near its centre. A build-up of sediment at the ESE end meets with the roof lintel and a human burial is visible in the clay at roof level. The interior is full of rubble and (modern) grave goods.
