The National Monuments Service's description
A letter in the SMR file for KE037-053---- described this souterrain which was entered c. 18m SSW of a quarry. The souterrain ran up to the edge of the quarry at which point the landowner had caused a capstone to be exposed while digging with a mechanical excavator. The souterrain was drystone built, roofed with lintels and rather low. An accompanying location map shows this souterrain to be the same as that which is entered in the Register of Historic Monuments (SMR File).
