Full Description
A double-chambered souterrain found 1817, covered by a cairn. When discovered the main gallery curved so that the entrance faced east or northeast, but it was later reduced and the entrance now faces southeast. There was a smoke hole in the roof of the side gallery. No finds were made and, now there is no cairn. The north chamber measures 5m in length by up to 1.9m in breadth and 1.9m in height.
