What is recorded here

Situated at the N end of a N-S ridge with wide views of the surrounding countryside. One of five cists (KK005-003002-, KK005-003003-, KK005-003005-, KK005-003006-) discovered in 1971 during bulldozing at a possible cairn (KK005-003001-) in an area of quarrying. This cist is referred to in Prendergast and Ryan (2011, 239) as Grave 3. It was located W of Grave 2 (KK005-00303-). It appears to have been rectangular in plan (dims. L 1.8m; Wth 0.35m; H 0.45m) and aligned NNE-SSW. The capstone had been shattered by heavy machinery. No human remains or artefacts were found.

Cist in Ballyoskill is a small stone burial chamber, likely dating to the Early Christian or Bronze Age period. Its discovery among several cists suggests a local funerary or ritual landscape, possibly linked to an earlier cairn.
