It contained an urn which was broken and is now lost. When a second cist was discovered nearby more care was taken and a vase Food Vessel was recovered. The location of the discovery is not known now. (Waddell 1970, 136)

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
