The National Monuments Service's description
At Doonfore enclosure (see SL004-007001-). Within the internal area at SW, adjacent to a modern field boundary which truncates the site, is a hole (diam. 0.7m) which is now closed with stones and metal sheeting. This gives access to a chamber or passage whose walls are constructed of drystone masonry and which is roofed with large lintels. The chamber/passage extends in a NNW direction.
