The National Monuments Service's description
Three cists found during gravel quarrying. One contained a crouched inhumation with a bowl, broken lignite bead, flint scraper, two flint flakes and possible remains of a rush mat. A second produced a crouched inhumation with a bowl and three flint chips as well as a cremation. The third cist was filled with earth. (Martin 1935-7, 255; Waddell 1990, 159, fig. 123)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
