Situated in destroyed enclosure (LH014-014001-) and consisting of an artificially raised mound which contained about twenty burials according to a local informant in 1967. A ridge or bank extended through the centre of the site. The graves consisted of rectangular trenches c. 1.8m long and were filled with dark earth. The burials were orientated E-W. The above description is based on information received from the then owner of the land at the time of the destruction of the enclosure. The site is referred to as 'Lis na Kelic' in the OS Letters (CLAJ 1910, 291), which is possibly a corruption of 'Liss na Relig'.
