  Description

  In tillage, a short distance S of Inchydoney Church (CO135-104004-). Discovered April 1985. Cleary (1989, 30-1) describes six earth-cut chambers. Chambers 1, 3 and 4 are rectangular in plan; others are irregular. Lintelled creepway on NE side of chamber 1 may be original entrance; second inaccessible creepway on S side may lead to further chambers.

Construction shafts occur in chambers 5 and 6. Numerous rat bones on floor of chamber 6 but these are 'medieval and later in date'.
