Cist in Drummoher

Cist

What is recorded here

Within the centre of a cairn (CL016-156002-). This cist is defined by two parallel stones, one on the N side (L0.75m; Wth 0.05m) and one on the S side (L 1.1m; Wth 0.05m); both protrude just above the ground. While parallel, the stones, which are 0.85m apart, are not exactly opposite each other. A smaller stone is visible on both sides further to the W, it is unclear if the cist extended further in this direction. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 5 August 2022
