What is recorded here

In a semi-karst plateau in rough pasture, within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL010-064001-). This linear souterrain (L 12.2m; Wth 1.4-1.5m; D 1.2m) extends SSW from the SSW edge of a hut site (CL010-064039-). It is built within a natural gryke, with bedrock walls. It survives best near the centre. The S end (D 0.4m) is covered in rubble. The N end is also collapsed but might be more accessible (min. D 0.8m). The souterrain is roofed with at least twelve stone lintels visible in their original position along its length.
