A heap of stones seems to mark the site of the 'souterrain' recorded here (O. Davies). The feature was not strictly underground but built up against a rock bank. The remainder was formed of boulders. Two 'windows' looked out onto the stream which ran parallel to the passage which was 6ft long. The end of this had collapsed so that it may well have been longer. It was roofed with two large flagstones packed with smaller stones. The entrance was 1ft 7in high and 2ft wide. The site seems to have resembled St. Faned's Cell (DG080-024002-).
