What is recorded here

Located towards the S end of a low N-S ridge. A stone-lined cist (dims c. 0.9m x c. 0.6m; D c. 0.4m) containing a bowl food vessel with a cremation was discovered in 1934 during the removal of a cairn (LE033-049001-) (NMI file). The cist was preserved in situ, but it is not visible now at ground level. There is a detailed account of the discovery in the Schools Manuscripts from Drumeen school (IFC: Schools Collection, vol. 0220, 183-4).
