Situated on a gentle S-facing slope on low flat-topped hillock. Rectangular cist (dims. 0.55m x 0.4m; D 0.4m) aligned E-W with a single capstone, containing the cremation of an adult. Not visible at ground level. (Hartnett 1952, 161-2; Waddell 1990, 159) In 2008, a geophysical survey (08R127) of part of the site revealed a 'concentration of curvilinear ditch type responses' and 'responses indicative of intensive burning / firing activity'.
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.
