Full Description
NC75NW 25 710 582.
'About 1/3 mile WSW of the farm-house at Achnabourin (NC 7104 5825) and some 80 yards W of the road, on the summit of a grassy knoll, two boulders probably mark the site of the entrance to the earth-house which formerly existed here. A depression running SE for about 44ft seems to indicate its extent.'
RCAHMS 1911, visited 1909.
The site of this souterrain was not located during field investigation. Visited by OS (J L D) 5 May 1960.
The souterrain was not located, a turf and bracken-covered knoll at NC 710 579 about 1/3 mile S of Achnabourin and 55 yards W of the road is possibly the site; nothing artificial was seen on it.
Visited by OS (J B) 18 December 1978.
