What is recorded here

On a gentle E-facing slope in an undulating landscape. A cairn (RO051-010002-) which was disturbed in land reclaimation during the 1950s revealed a long cist (dims. 1.65m N-S; 0.55m E-W; D 0.5m) defined by stone slabs with a slab floor. Fragments of a cremation and of a bowl Food Vessel were recovered in excavation by J. Raftery (Raftery1960-1; Waddell 1990, 130-1; O Riordain and Waddell 1993, 129). The cist is still visible.
