What is recorded here

Situated to the NE of the junction of Beech Park Grove and South Park Drive. A short rectangular cist formed of four upright granite slabs (L 0.63m; Wth 0.4m) aligned NW-SE which was found at Deansgrange in 1965 (Ó Ríordáin 1968, 122). It had a paved floor and contained unburnt fragments of two adult skeletons (Waddell 1970, 115). A roofstone from this grave was dug up during house construction at the rear of 14 Beech Park Grove (Waddell 1990, 42, Cahill & Sikora 2011,174-175).
