What is recorded here

A rectangular slab-built cist (L 0.5m; Wth 0.4m), aligned N-S, was discovered in 1934 when sand was being removed from a sand pit. It contained the cremated bones of an adult, many fragments of pottery, a flint knife and two or three flint scrapers (Waddell 1975, 16; 1990, 93). The cist and its contents were subsequently transferred to the college museum in University College Galway. However, their present location is unknown.
