A previously opened souterrain, which lay in a field on the right of the road between Tongue House (NC55NE 4) and Kirkiboll (NC 591 567), was re-opened for examination by Horsburgh in 1867. It was about 25ft long, 2 1/2ft broad at the entrance and 4ft wide at the inner end where it terminated in a circle. The sides were dry-built of small stones and it was roofed with flat slabs.
J Horsburgh 1870.
The souterrain was not found during field investigation.
