The National Monuments Service's description
A number of urns were discovered in the Ring/Old Parish area in the 1870s. At least two were discovered in cists close to each other during 1873, and there was evidence of a hearth (WA036-019002-) nearby (Anon. 1874-5, 436-7, 481). A vase urn and a sherd of another from this discovery are preserved in the National Musuem of Ireland. (Waddell 1990, 146; O Ríordáin and Waddell (1993, 139).
