Full Description
Possible site of a souterrain (Wainwright's Airlie V). In 1865, the 19th century antiquary Jervise mentioned a souterrain, long since destroyed, but near to the souterrain discovered beneath a cottage (see NO35SW0041). From an examination of the area in the 20th century, Wainwright suggested that it was sited a little east of NO35SW0041, where there are two or three possible sites all close together. The site is tentatively plotted, though this should not be taken to imply that its position is satisfactorily established. When revisited by the OS in 1977, the alleged site was in an area of rough ground on a SE-facing slope. There were many large boulders and slabs there but none formed any identifiable structure.
