What is recorded here

Long cist cemetery; no exact location. Cremen (1924, 71) examined stone-lined cist on McCarthy's land, measuring '5ft 4in long, 18ins wide and 13ins deep'; removal of covering slab revealed 'a small quantity of human bones'. From position of bones Cremen suggests 'interred in a cramped or kneeling position', and records landowner saying he has frequently uncovered similar sites.
