Cist in Tobar Na Múdán

Cist

What is recorded here

A long stone cist with a single inhumation burial was uncovered during ploughing in 1970. It was about 6.5 feet long x 2 feet wide (2m x .6m) and lay about 1.5 feet (.45m) below the surface (NMI; the Kerryman 2nd May 1970). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 213. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013
Simple stone cist burial, likely dating to the Early Christian or Bronze Age period. Its discovery provides evidence of early burial practices in the region, though its wider archaeological context remains limited.
