A stone-lined cist (dims. c. 1.8m x 0.6m; D 0.6m) but apparently without any human remains or pottery was discovered in ploughing and reported to the National Museum of Ireland in 1934. A sherd of late Medieval pottery was recovered nearby, but the discovery was not investigated further. (SMR file; Cahill and Sikora, 2011, vol. 2, 457-8)
