Isolated souterrain, discovered during house construction in 1984. Located on a spur of land forming a terrace on the S slopes of the Cooley Mountains. The modern entrance, owing to a displaced lintel, is in the middle of the souterrain. The present extent of the souterain is a drystone-built passage (L 10.1m, Wth 0.7m, H 0.9m) curving gently from NNE-SSW. The passage is blocked at both ends by collapse and may have originally extended further.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
