On an island of dry land surrounded by bog with good views in all directions. Burial ground not visible at ground level. A rectangular enclosure (diam. 20m x 22m) was excavated on the E side of the island (Ó Floinn 1988, 24-5). The inner enclosing bank consisted of a rubble-filled wall faced with limestone boulders, the wall incorporated fragments of rotary querns suggesting a relatively late date (ibid.). Limited excavation of the interior of the enclosure revealed several extended burials of adults and children orientated E-W placed in unmarked pits which identified this enclosure as a cemetery (ibid.).
