What is recorded here

In the middle of the older part of the burial ground (GA077-017----). A roughly rectangular box-shaped structure (L 1.75m; Wth 1.35m; H 0.8m) is constructed of large natural boulders and roofed with smaller stones. Inside it loose scattered stones are visible on the ground as well as a piece of quartz and some coins. The structure is difficult to classify or date. It may be related to the slab or gabled shrines that are found on some early Christian sites or it may be of more recent date and related to some tradition associated with St Kieran.
