Cist in Kilpipe

Cist

What is recorded here

According to Doyle (OPW files, 9/04/1935) a 'pre-historic burial' was found on a farm in Kilpipe and 'the structure consisted of a number of pillar stones of approx. about 3 ft. [0.91m] each in length, they stood partly upright enclosing a space which ... was partly oblong rather than circular'. A broken vessel, desribed as a 'stone vessel' was found against one of the stones. This is possibly a cist. The precise location of this monument is unknow.

Cist in Kilpipe is a prehistoric stone cist, likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in providing evidence of early burial practices and megalithic construction in an otherwise poorly documented region.
