What is recorded here

On a S-facing slope. At the SE corner of a low oval-shaped grass-covered mound, three stone slabs protrude above the ground forming a roughly rectangular shape. This is possibly the remains of a short cist (1.10m E-W; 0.73m N-S). There is a displaced capstone to N. There is a tradition of a children's burial ground (CO143-080---) in the same field.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CO143-092
