A slight excavation marks the entrance to a souterrain which was discovered a few years before 1909 (RCAHMS 1911). In the base of this hollow is a cavity which has been filled up with small stones, and there is another small excavation a few metres to the west, possibly denoting a collapsed passage, but no signs of building are visible and it does not appear to have been thoroughly explored. (RCAHMS 1911)
