In pasture, on a gentle E-facing slope on the W side of a shallow valley. Exposed in section on the slope is the entrance to a souterrain passage which extends W into the slope. The opening (Wth 0.6m N–S; H 0.35m) is flanked by two upright rounded stones (Wth 0.3-0.35m N–S; H 0.35m) which support a massive lintel boulder (L 1.25m N–S; Wth 0.45m E–W; H 0.48m). The back or W edge of the lintel is partly embedded in the slope but otherwise the lintel is largely exposed and projects from the hill slope. The two side stones extend for 0.5m to W into the passage. Beyond this point, the walls of the passage are constructed of rough drystone walling, 2-3 courses in height, topped with stone lintels. The passage extends W for at least 2m into the body of the slope.
