In pasture, immediately to N of a fragment of E–W field fence, and 40m N of a possible rath (SL011-134----). The exposed remnants of the souterrain consist of an oval chamber (2.3m N–S; 1.7m E–W; H 1.1m) of drystone construction. The walls, of large irregular or rounded boulders, are roughly corbelled to support a roof of stone lintels, only one of which remains in situ. One displaced lintel is embedded in the floor of the chamber and others may have been removed. There is a possible ventilation shaft (Wth 0.25m; H 0.23m) in the wall at E. A break in the wall on the S side gives access to the chamber. According to the landowner, there is also a stone-built tunnel, now covered over, close to the chamber. Immediately to E is a quarry pit (8.5m N–S; 10.5m E–W; D 1.8m). There is another rath (SL011-085----) located c. 300m to E.
