In an unclassified barrow (SL012-053001-). This cist was discovered when the barrow was fully excavated in 1963 in advance of road-widening works on the N 59 Sligo-Ballina road (Danaher 1964). The cist represented a secondary phase of activity at the barrow. A hole was dug into the summit of the barrow on its W side and the cist was constructed in the hole. The cist (L 0.45m; W 0.3m) was subrectangular in plan, with each of the four sides built of a double wall of small slabs set on edge. It was roofed by a single capstone (L 1m; Wth 0.85m; T 0.12m). The floor was paved with three slabs. The cist contained the cremated bones of an adult human of unknown gender. A waste flake of chert was found with the bones. A pit-burial (SL012-053003-), also containing cremated remains, was inserted into the E side of the barrow.
