The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered during the excavation of a short cist (LI018-01102-) in September 1989. This cist it was found 2.5m to the E of the short cist (Doody 1992, 219; Doody 1993, fig. 3). The structure had been heavily damaged during land reclamation, but excavation revealed an irregular-shaped space cut in the bedrock (0.8m E-W; 0.7m N-S) and covered by a large flat slab. No finds of any type were recovered from the site.
