Full Description
Two stone cups found while trenching a square-shaped hollow, referred to locally as a 'Pict's house' , in the 19th century. OS site visit (1968) noted that the Picts House was not known in the locality of Knockargety. This is probably the site of a souterrain of which there is now no evidence.
