Situated at the crest of a NW-facing slope. An inverted vase food vessel and some unburnt human bones were found in a cist beneath a standing stone c. 1905 with a cremation pit nearby (Power 1907b). Another vessel, probably a food vessel, was recovered in the same area in 1908 (Power 1908a). The lintel of the cist is now built into a gateway.
