The National Monuments Service's description
On the N-facing slope of a ridge above the S bank of the W-E Boyle River and c. 50m ESE of Drum church (RO006-026001-) and within the field system (RO006-026002-). It is described in italic lettering as a 'Cave' on the 1837 and 1911 editions of the OS 6-inch map. There is no description of it available and it is now closed or collapsed. A grass-covered depression extends N-S (L 13m) and turned E (L 9m) at its S end.
