The site of a souterrain which was excavated by Alexander Clark some years before 1864, in which year it could still be examined. By 1911, the entrance was covered by a flagstone, but by 1959 (OS [WDJ] 3 May 1959) no surface trace remains. The passage was about 45 ft long by about 2 ft wide and 4 ft high with only a slight expansion at the end.
A Mitchell 1868; RCAHMS 1911.
