Discovered March 1984. Cleary (1989, 27-8) records at least three earth-cut chambers. Chamber 1 rectangular in plan; roof collapsed; infilled creepway at E end may have been original entrance shaft. Chamber 2 to SE of chamber 1; square in plan. Creephole on W side of chamber 1 to third chamber which is circular in plan. Blocked-up creephole in chamber 3 may have led to further chambers. Possibly associated with ploughed-out ringfort (CO122-094001-) which according to Cleary is 'still visible as low banks'.
