The National Monuments Service's description
On a natural rise in low-lying rough pastureland. Within the only surviving NE-SE quadrant a mound (GA101-086001-), among the roots of a mature ash tree. This possible cist (L 0.8m; Wth 0.6m; H 0.25m) is orientated NNW-SSE. A possible backstone and two sidestones are visible on the S side. Some loose boulders are visible on the N side. It has been damaged by the root system of the tree. It was brought to our attention by Dr C. Cunniffe.
