Not listed in either the SMR (1989) or RMP (1995). In rough pasture, on a steep N-facing slope overlooking a river 30m to N. A roughly circular roofless structure (diam. 1.2m) with a sunken interior (max. D 0.85m) lined with roughly coursed unmortared rubble limestone. The floor is level and strewn with rubble limestone. The entrance (Wth 1m) is on the N side and consists of two parallel earth and stone banks (H 0.4m; L 1m). At external ground level, the rim of the interior is defined by an earth and stone bank (ext. H 0.3m), possibly the remains of a collapsed roof. This is probably post-1700 AD in date.
