What is recorded here

Situated on a W-facing slope. A rectangular cist (int. dims 0.73m NE-SW; 0.61m NW-SE; D 0.4m) was apparently empty when it was discovered in 1961 and investigated by NMI (Waddell 1990, 155). It was composed of six slabs (T 0.12-0.28), there being two on the long sides, and there were two capstones that were removed in ploughing. (Ó Ríordáin 2011) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 24 March, 2014
