The National Monuments Service's description
Souterrain situated adjacent to souterrain LH006-060001-. Its full extent is unrecorded as the site was delintelled and backfilled in antiquity. One of the passages of the souterrain passes close to the modern entrance of the previous site (LH006-060001-). The original entrance of the souterrain was located NE of the entrance to LH006-060001- and consisted of a slope, with cavities in the drystone walling suggesting a possible door.
This is a National Monument in state guardianship: No. 526
