What is recorded here
On a steep E-facing slope in scrub at the NE extent of the Termon plateau overlooking the Glen of Clab and within a field system (CL006-217----) extending all over the plateau. Described by Keegan (2016, 106-8) as a possible cist, partially within dense scrub, comprising E (L 1.35m) and W (1.65m) sidestones and a capstone (L 1.62m; Wth 0.6m) with the height greater at the front. Keegan (ibid.) also noted that it may be a small Man-made underground passage.

Cist in Termon is a small prehistoric stone burial chamber, likely dating to the Early Christian or Bronze Age period. Its location within a field system and description by Keegan suggest it may be part of a broader settlement or ritual landscape, though its wider significance remains under-researched.
