Cist in Lugmore

Cist

Why this matters

Cist in Lugmore is a Neolithic stone cist tomb, dating to approximately 4000–2500 BCE. It is significant as a small but well-defined burial monument, reflecting early funerary practices in the region.

What is recorded here

Located on top of Tallaght Hill. This is a roughly square, deep cist, defined by granite boulders (dims.2.1m N-S; 1.4m E-W; D 0.7m). Its displaced capstone lies W of the cist (dims. L 2.1m; Wth 1.4m). Traces of the original covering mound surround this cist (diam. c. 9m; H 1m; Healy 1974, 25). Compiled by Geraldine Stout
