What is recorded here

In pasture on top of a broad rise/small, low hill, with a fall of ground to NW, N and E. According to local information, a souterrain was uncovered at roughly this location on the summit of the rise during ploughing in the 1990’s. The plough dislodged a roof stone, revealing a subterranean chamber with drystone walls and flat roof slabs. It was not explored or reported at the time, and was covered over again. Not far to E on the same hill, a patch of black, burnt-looking soil was visible on the ploughed ground surface. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 26 January 2023
