  Description

  In pasture, on a rise near a bog to the N of Glenflesk village. Three openings are evident on the face of a recently made NE-SW scarp (H 1m). The opening at SW (Wth 1.05m; H 0.5m) is partially obscured by a large stone. A smaller opening (Wth 0.45m; H c. 0.1m) lies 1.85m to the NE. The largest opening (Wth 2m) lies a further 0.8m to the NE, and gives access to a downsloping passage (H 1.1m) with sloping sides and a curved roof cut from clay and gravel. The passage extends c. 7m to the W where it is partially blocked by a pile of stones, some of which are water rolled. A small overhead opening allows light to enter at this point. The passage then curves to the S and re-emerges at the SW opening. A smaller inaccessible passage leads to the N from the second opening, crosses the main passage and continues to the N for 1.6m, after which it turns to the W.
