Within the NE quadrant of a cashel (GA084-041001-) and overlying the NE corner of a house site (GA084-041002-). A rectangular area (25.2m N-S; 22.8m E-W), delimited by a low grassed-over stone wall at S, is densely packed with set stones indicating graves aligned E-W. Four slab-lined graves (L c. 1.5m), marked by both head- and foot-stones, are visible within it, three towards the centre and one in the N sector.
