Full Description
NC56SE 14 5825 6414.
NC 5825 6414. Traditional site of a souterrain. Possible Spoil heap. Information contained in letter from T C Welsh to OS 23 July 1973
At the site indicated by Welsh is a vague hollow in the side of a natural slope, but there are no structural remains visible to identify this as the site of a souterrain. The tradition of a man-made "cave" survives locally, but the precise position is not known, (note name Achinahagh; probably "field of the cave").
Visited by OS (NKB) 16 September 1977
