In a quarry, on a S-facing slope and close to a stream. There are no visible remains of this cist. It was discovered during gravel extraction in 1945 and described as a grave with low side-walls and covered with three rough slabs; the displacement of one of the stones revealed 'some bones' (NMI). The stone was replaced and the grave covered over immediately after its discovery.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
