What is recorded here

Drumashellig hides a cist marked by two six-foot pillar stones, yet even careful searching has failed to place it beside Rathmoyle. The land may have swallowed the chamber or memory may have blurred the boundary, leaving only the ghost of a shape behind.

Unlocated cist within townland described by H. Roe in her unpublished report entitled 'A record of archaeological discovery' as 'O'Byrne describes what seems to be a cist marked by two pillar stones 6 feet high situated in Drumshelly near Rathmoyle, which so far I have been unable to locate' (p. 6).

Cist in Drumashellig is a prehistoric stone cist, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its description suggests a small burial monument, possibly associated with early megalithic traditions in the region.
