B.A.Malaws, 18 March 1999.

2. Two parallel tunnel-vaulted stone chambers built into a steep bank, of which the N is cut back slightly while the S retains rock-faced voussoirs to its arch and part of a wall on the S side. Approximately 12m N-S by 7m E-W into the bank. The fronts of both chambers are infilled with modern walls with doorways.
