The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered during the excavation of a short cist (LI018-01102-) in September 1989; it was found 150m SE of the short cist (Doody 1993, figs 2). The site was revealed during land reclamation as a 'displaced mound of burnt stone' (Doody 1992, 217); it was not excavated. There is now no evident trace for the feature in a field of reclaimed pasture.
