The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located c. 35m W of a graveyard (SL005-005002-), and c. 70m ENE of a holy well (SL005-04001-). The location of the souterrain is marked by a low rise (c. 15m N–S; c. 4-5m E–W) in the surface of the field. The rise is defined at SW-NW by a slight scarp, and is bordering at E by a shallow surface depression (c. 4-5m across). A surface opening (0.4m N–S; 0.3m E–W), created by the removal in the past of a roof lintel, reveals a drystone-built chamber (Wth c. 4m; int. H c. 2.25m). A passage appears to extend to S from the chamber. The surface opening to the chamber is now covered by concrete slabs and a boulder.
