What is recorded here

Situated at a break in a marked S-facing slope overlooking the confluence of two small valleys. A rectangular cist containing cremated bone was found in the course of quarrying for sand in a tumulus (diam. c. 37m). The burial was not further disturbed. The tumulus appears to have been removed subsequently through further quarrying. (Walshe 1931, 121; Waddell 1990, 162) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
