What is recorded here

In pastureland. On the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map the terms ‘Souterrain’ (GA104-256001-)and ‘Cave’ (GA104-256001-) are written beside two small circles, c. 15m apart. A protruding roof lintel is all that is evident at the point marked ‘Souterrain’. Of the ‘Cave’ to the N, another protruding roof lintel is evident, c. 8.4m to the W of which is a pile of collapsed stones. Possibly one souterrain but it was not possible to determine if both elements are interconnected.
