Souterrain.

In sandy ground are the remains of a probable souterrain. It survives as a passage 5.0m long, 1.0m deep, and 1.2m wide, with carefully built dry-stone walls and well fitted regular shaped lintels.

Oriented N-S it can be entered from the S and is partly filled with sand and rubbish. Immediately to the N is a hollow c 4.0m long, and another extends from the S end for 7.0m to the SE suggesting that the original structure was curved and has been largely quarried away. [Canmore]
