Hamilton noted the discovery of a 'north house' in the demesne of Hampton in 1845 (1845-7, 250). The description suggested the existence of a souterrain at the site. It consisted of a substantial length of passage leading to a beehive chamber which featured an air vent. The passage roof featured 'large flags'. A number of bones, described as being of 'oxen and swine' were recovered from the souterrain. This site is located in the Pleasure Grounds W of Hampton Hall (pers. comm. Thomas Ashe). Not visible at ground level (Clinton 1998, 118-119).
