Situated on the W-facing slope of Ballinacorney Hill. The cist was of short trapezoidal shape (L 1.05m; Wth 0.66m; D 0.51m). All the structural stones were of granite. It contained a crouched inhumation of an adult male who was placed on its right side. A bowl food vessel had been placed just behind the body in the corner of the cist.
