Situated on a gentle N-facing slope of a NW-SE spur, overlooking a NW-SE stream c. 200m to the NE in a deep valley. A drystone-built, corbelled and lintelled passage (L 5.7m; max. Wth 1.4m; max. H c. 1m), extending E from a blocked entrance, is connected through a clay-cut creep with a second drystone-built, corbelled passage (L 6m; Wth 1.5m; H c. 1.5m). The latter curves to the N and terminates in a rock- and earth-cut chamber (dims. 2.7m x 1.9m). It was discovered in 1959 and is now closed. (Rynne 1962) Rynne, E.
