In low-lying reclaimed pastureland. In the summer of 1828 a local farmer pointed out 'an old Cist' to one of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland surveyors in the area. He had come across it 35 years previously. The cist was overground rather than underground and when opened it contained a crouched burial and an earthenware vase (Anon. 1928, 79). No visible surface trace survives. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 28)
