Excavated in 1980 (Manning 1986) as part of a group of monuments (see also LH017-054001-, LH017-054002-, LH017-054003-, LH017-054004- and LH017-054006-). The souterrain consisted of a passage (L 5m) extending E to a drop-hole which gave access to a second passage (L 5m, Wth 0.8m, H 1m) at a lower level, gently curving NW-SE and terminating in a beehive chamber (diam. 2.7m, H 1.7m). There was a small recess (L 0.4m, Wth 0.4-0.6m, H 0.7m) in the NE side of the lower passage. The souterrain was drystone-built of local greywacke throughout. (PRIA C 1986, 135-81)
