The National Monuments Service's description
A segmented cist with cremated bone and some small unclassifiable pot sherds was discovered during ploughing (JRSAI 1937, 295).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
