Excavated by M. Gowen in 1982 in advance of construction work. The site consisted of two souterrains within an oval enclosure (diam. 40m by 60m) (LH007-139----). The first souterrain (LH007-083----) T-shaped in plan, consisted of a passage (L 11m, Wth 1.1-5m) running W from the original rock-cut ramp entrance at the E. At the W end of the passage is gallery (L 18m, Wth 1.3-1.7m) ran S and another section of the same gallery (L 10m, Wth 1.6-2m) ran NW. The second souterrain (LH007-084----), roughly U-shaped in plan, consisted of a simple passage (L 25m, Wth 0.6-1m, H 1.4-1.6m) curving gently N-WSW.
