Situated on NE side of a ridge, in pasture, with extensive views to SE. A pond lies c. 80m to S. Described in 1971 as within NW quadrant of ringfort (WM025-007----) there is as a small portion of a lintel which is visible through a small hole in the ground surface. According to local information, this is part of a ‘cave’ which had been closed up in relatively recent times. Monument described in 1977 as a depression with a lintel lying in it and a narrow entrance into a souterrain. It is not possible to gain entry into it. Monument described in 1979 as a souterrain passage which extends (L 4.3m; Wth 1.6m; H 0.4-0.6m) in a SW direction. The passage is defined by poorly constructed drystone walling. There is a small opening at the SW end of the NW wall, which presumably leads into another passage or chamber. The area beyond this opening is in accessible and appears to have been disturbed by badgers.
