Full Description
Souterrain recorded as having been recently found in 1941. No definite surface evidence of the chamber is visible. Descent through the entrance leads to an infilled chamber running in a curve from the entrance (east) towards the west. In the most deeply infilled area just within the entrance, there is evidence of a second chamber running at right angles to the first towards the southwest. This chamber had an entrance of stone uprights and a lintel and now seems completely infilled. The souterrain was excavated in the 1920s (no finds were made), but the excavator remembered finding a deposit of greyish-white material, presumably ash, on the original surface some 1.21m from the entrance. The fill of the souterrain was clean white sand indicating possible river flooding at some stage. No report of this work was ever published. Now in a dangerous state from general decay, stone dumping and treasure hunting. A geophysical survey was undertaken in 1999 by CFA.
