Within a cashel (CL005-140001-). Westropp (1899, 379-80) described a feature ESE of the centre of a cashel as follows: ‘In the centre of the garth used to be a heap of stones suggestive of a fallen clochan. This is now cleared away, and only a small cist remains, 3 feet wide and at least 9 feet long, with a partition of slabs in the middle. This may have been one of those strange little slab enclosures to be seen in the floors of several Irish and Welsh forts and Scotch brochs’. This was listed in the RMP (1996) as a ‘Megalithic structure’ on the basis of the term ‘cist’. On inspection in 1998 the remains were found to consist of a number of loosely set upright stones (max. H 0.65m) forming a subrectangular feature (2m N-S; 1.4m E-S). The stones may have formed part of a house structure.
