The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, in a relatively flat recently drained field, on the N side of a road. According to local information, there was a 'cave' in this field which extended under the road. It was also recorded that a hollow sound was heard when carts crossed the road. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain. There is also doubt about the precise location in the field in which it occurred.
