An auxiliary 'hide' constructed of corrugated iron and brick, consisting of two main chambers buried underground and connected to each other via a tunnel which has now collapsed. The chambers are in good overall condition but partly filled with debris dumped by local landowner. Each is approx. 15ft long by 8ft wide. Interconnecting tunnel is also built of corrugated iron sheeting.
