Between 150 and 200 'urns' of various types were uncovered in the mid-nineteenth century during removal of an earthwork (LH024-002001-). All were inverted over human remains. Most were subsequently destroyed by the landowner, but an 'excavation' by J. H. Smith (PRIA (C) 1840-5, 259-61) recovered a Cordoned Urn (Kavanagh 1976, 369-70, no. 39) in association with a perforated bone pin, a bronze razor and a stone plaque (NMI reg. no. W 31) (JRSAI 1967, 42).
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
