The National Monuments Service's description
Polygonal cist with an inverted encrusted urn containing the cremations of an adult female and child, excavated in 1960. Other reports of burials including one cist, two cremations covered by small piles of stones, and unprotected extended inhumations, probably indicate the existence of a cemetery. (JRSAI 1960, 169-73)
