According to Kinahan (1879-88, 156) three cists containing urns were found W of a ring-cairn (WX002-044----) at Cummer c. 1840. One urn contained a pygmy cup, which is now in NMI (Kavanagh 1977, 89). The precise location of the cemetery is unknown, but it was in an area then occupied as a concentrated settlement, and now developed as a farmyard. It was situated towards the top of a S-facing slope just down from a col between low hills c. 400m to the W and E and c. 40-50m higher than the col.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
