In a reclaimed field on a gentle W-facing slope of the broad NE-SW upper Araglin river valley. A possible cist (2.05m N-S; 1.75m E-W) orientated N-S. Only the N side, composed of one large side-stone (1.75m x 0.35m; H 0.9m) and the W side, composed of 4 neatly interlocking slabs, remains. There are large slabs lying about but none of them can be interpreted as side slabs or lintels.
