This cist (1970, 129) is described as 'Polygonal cist found about 1m away from the short cist (SL017-053001-); described as roughly circular and 'only about one foot in diameter'; contained cremated bone.'

Polygonal cist, likely dating to the Early Christian or medieval period. Its association with another cist in the same townland suggests a small burial cluster, possibly reflecting local funerary practices in a rural or ecclesiastical context.
