Excavated in 1938 by Kilbride Jones (1939, 190-220). The site comprised a circular mound (diam.21.5m, H 1.22m). It had a composite make-up comprising a primary mound of decayed sods overlain by a mound of gravel and sand of Mid-Late Bronze age. The primary mound covered a stone-setting and an oval cairn which covered a central cist (L1.30m, Wth 1.20m, H 0.37m) orientated N-S containg a hanging bowl and extended burial. Secondary burials were inserted into the mound. These were cremations accompanied by a Food Vessel. At a later stage in the early Late Bronze Age a mantling mund had been placed over the primary mound obtained from a surrounding ditch. A pit inserted into this contained two burials, orientated East to West. In Walkinstown Park. There are no visible surface remains.
