The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture and recovered from under a megalithic structure (KE066-112001-) during drainage works. There are no visible remains of this cist. According to Mr. Leary of Caher, a polished stone axe was found within and has since been sent to Tralee Museum. This was a form of box-cist. An unpolished stone axe and giant red deer bones and antlers were also found nearby.
