The National Monuments Service's description
This site is located in a low lying area and is located on the landscaped grounds of Stepaside Golf course. A cist burial was found during sand-quarrying operations. The burial was accompanied by a Food Vessel (NMI 1927:45; 1927:64). Two other burials were found near by, one an inhumation accompanied by a Food Vessel contained in a cist. The second, a cremation, was associated with a Food Vessel (Kavanagh 1973, 545-6, Waddell 1970, 116).
