Situated on the line of a former field fence running N-S, on top of a rocky hillock, with good views to NW, SSE and overlooked by higher ridges to ENE and WSW. Monument described in 1977 as the remains of a rectangular-shaped stone lined cist (dims. 1.05m N-S; 0.8m E-W). defined by three long, weathered limestone slabs to S, W and N sides which are set on edge (max. L 0.8m; max. H 0.6m) to enclose a box-like structure that is open to E. Two smaller stones appear to close the SW corner. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

Cist in Ballinkeeny or Mosstown is a small prehistoric burial chamber, likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its location on a prominent rocky hillock suggests it was part of a wider ritual landscape, though its specific significance remains poorly documented due to limited archaeological investigation.
