The National Monuments Service's description
Close to the summit of a N-S running ridge in undulating pastureland. This poorly preserved souterrain (L >8.2m) consists of a drystone-built chamber (H 1.5m; L 4m; Wth 3m max.) which runs E-W. A stone-lined depression (L 4.2m) indicates that it extended further to the E. Another souterrain (GA106-165----) lies c. 170m to the SW.
