Several ridges of rock outcrop occur in this field. In one of these is a rock-cut souterrain. (M. R. Colhoun). It consists of an entrance shaft 0.8m in diameter and 2.5m deep. To the NE of this is a passage 6m long, 0.95m wide and 1.5m high. The entrance to this from the shaft is 0.8m wide and 1.9m high. A small opening 0.4m wide and 0.42m high connects this to the SE chamber. The SE chamber is entered through an opening 0.6m wide and 0.85m high. There is a step down into the chamber which is 3.6m long and 1.2m wide except for a SW outshot which increases the width to 1.55m. The maximum height is 1.3m. It is situated on high pasture in a naturally terraced field sloping to the SE.
