The National Monuments Service's description
The Linkardstown-type cist (WX011-016001-) was within a cairn of stones (diam. c. 8m; H c. 1m) and this was beneath an earthen mound (diam. c. 35m; H c. 3m), which may have been added at any time, and which had been surrounded by a shallow fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.3m) that might not have been original. Neither the mound nor the cist survies. (Lucas 1950)
