The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located in a slight rise c. 45m SSW of an enclosure (MA102-013----). There is an ENE−WSW field fence immediately to S.
According to local information, this is a blocked up access hole to a souterrain which extends N towards the enclosure (MA102-013----). A shallow surface depression (c. 1.5m N–S; 1m E–W) is evident, with small stones protruding from the grass-covered surface. It is bordered at its S edge by the ENE−WSW field fence. Two large, prostrate slabs (max. dim. 1.3-1.7m), possibly displaced roof lintels from the souterrain, lie against a field fence.
