What is recorded here

On a hillock in gently undulating pastureland. A rectangular short cist was discovered within a ‘small mound’ in 1928 (Shea 1935, 182-5). It contained the contracted skeleton of a young person, probably female, and a decorated a vase; these were subsequently sent to the National Museum of Ireland. No visible surface trace of the mound survives. (Mahr 1930, 74; Waddell 1990, 94) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 14 November 2019
