What is recorded here

In reclaimed pastureland within the interior of a house (GA103-143001-). This drystone-built souterrain (L 4.8m, Wth 1.27-2.1m; H 0.66-1.33m), running SE-NW, widens towards the NW end. Access is gained at the SE end. A depression (L 2m) filled with collapsed stone indicates that it extended further to the SE. A blocked-up creep (L c. 1m; Wth 1.1m) is evident at the N end of the W wall. It runs ENE-WSW and may lead to a second chamber.
