The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of a prehistoric flat-cemetery discovered in 1682 in the townland of Duntryleague has not been identified. Waddell (1990, 108) recorded that; ‘A small, ill-recorded flat cemetery was discovered in 1682 and seems to have comprised at least two cist graves and perhaps fifteen urn burials.’
