The National Monuments Service's description
Around the base of the standing stone (RO032-001001-) at the summit of Kiltullagh Hill. The inhumation of a male was excavated (94E0030) in 1994, and in 1998 two adults and a child were recovered. All the burials were aligned E-W and their pits were lined with stones. They are probably Christian. Ring-barrow (RO032-00102-) is nearby. (McCormick 1994; Robinson and Coombs 2000, 179; Gregory 2000)
