Situated on the W-facing slope of Ballinacorney Hill. The cist was of short trapezoidal shape (L 1.05m; Wth 0.66m; D 0.51m). All the structural stones were of granite. It contained a crouched inhumation of an adult male who was placed on its right side. A bowl food vessel had been placed just behind the body in the corner of the cist. Two pit burials (DU024-048002-) were also found in the sandpit during quarrying in 1938 (Raftery 1938, 300-303; Waddell 1970, 115; Waddell 1990, 80). Not precisely located.
