Four areas with stone settings were established outside the kerb of Tomb 1C, the most elaborate being outside the entrances to the E and W tombs but another is just SE of the mound. Two small related areas are adjacent to Tomb 16, and a fifth setting is associated with Tomb 4. Just 2m NW of Tomb 16 and abutting kerbstone 126 of Tomb 1C is a setting of low stones (diam. 1.3m) set on edge although some of the stones are displaced, and the centre is paved with small stones. Just 2m SE of Tomb 16 and 0.7m out from kerbstone 2 of the great mound four stones on edge defined a small pit or socket. It is not known if the socket supported anything, but given that standing stones are associated with other stone settings it may have surrounded one, or even a wooden post. These features are not conserved. (Eogan and Cleary 2017, 243-46)
