The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of a cist within the townland of Lough Gur has not been identified. Mentioned by O’Kelly (1944, 24) as ‘cist graves’ and described by Lynch (1895, 290) as follows: ‘In a field now tilled near Lough Gur Castle [LI032-022034-] are many graves lined with stone’. O’Kelly (ibid) stated that, ‘It has not been possible to locate this site, but the quotation does not refer to the Kistvaen Field’.
