What is recorded here

A rectangular slab-built cist (L 0.5m; Wth 0.4m), aligned N-S, was discovered in 1934 when sand was being removed from a sand pit. It contained the cremated bones of an adult, many fragments of pottery, a flint knife and two or three flint scrapers (Waddell 1975, 16; 1990, 93). The cist and its contents were subsequently transferred to the college museum in University College Galway. However, their present location is unknown.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA084-077
