What is recorded here

Situated in the NW end of a ringfort's interior (DU017-021001-). Its position is visible as a sunken area with descending stone steps. It was accessible up to recently. When last inspected in 1971 the entrance led into a passage with a beehive chamber off it. This was built of drystone walling with a corbelled roof closed by a large slab which was thought to be a modern repair. At a point opposite the present entrance was another entrance into a slightly curving passage orientated ENE-WSW. This was blocked at one end (Anon 1896, 421-2; Ball 1906, 4, 36; Price 1940, 123).
