What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland. When initially visited by the Survey in March 1983, this souterrain consisted of a drystone-built chamber (L 4.6m; Wth 1.6m) running NW-SE. Access was gained via an opening at the SE end. There was some collapse at the NW end but beyond this more roof lintels indicated the possible presence of a creep and a second chamber. The chamber was subsequently filled in during land reclamation and no visible surface trace survives.
