In scrubland, on an elevated limestone outcrop overlooking a marshy area to the N. The area had recently been burnt to clear the scrub. No visible surface trace of the 'cist' is now evident. This cist was discovered in the 1920s and consisted of 'a cist and urn' (NMI) which were destroyed at the time.
