According to Waddell (1970, 94, 135) this is a short rectangular cist (dims. 0.5m NNE-SSW; 0.3m WNW-ESE) defined by overlapping side stones and containing a bowl food vessel and the cremated bones of an adult (NMI Reg. Nos. 1963: 43: 44). Rynne (1964, 114-7) describes it as a Bronze Age cist. Monument is not visible on Digital Globe aerial photography Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
