Description
Mound containing vaulted tunnel, with entrance W. side. Summer house or belvedere probably originally surmounted the mound, but is now lost.
A tunnel about 10 m in length extending from the W side of the mound into its heart. The tunnel is above the original ground level. The walls and vault are of rubble masonry, and the floor is of earth. Nearly 2 m wide, with a barrel vault. At the E end there is an inserted blocking wall, and what lies beyond is unknown. On either side of the tunnel there are shallow rounded recesses, as if for statues, three each side. These are original to the tunnel, the vault of which is groined at each.
