In pastureland. Named 'Cave' on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On inspection in December 1982 no visible surface trace of this souterrain was evident. It was uncovered by a mechanical digger during the course of site preparation works for a septic tank in March 2000. Two roof lintels were displaced and as a result it was possible to access the souterrain (L 7.85m; Wth 0.98m H 1.12-1.67m), which runs ENW-WSW. Its walls were constructed of coursed limestone boulders and it was roofed with 10 lintels, 8 of which were in situ. Two wall cupboards were visible in the N wall and there was one in the S wall. The floor was covered with mud and loose stone. The souterrain is associated with a possible rath (GA103-178001-).
