The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on SSW slope of the Black Mountain. Roughly oval in plan with two sub-rectangular chambers, one on the NE side and the second on the SW side. Each chamber has a low narrow lintelled entrance on the SE. Both have earthen floors, with some small stones remaining on the floor of the NE chamber, suggesting that the floors may have originally been paved. (SMR file)
