• DG028-011 Cairn - burial cairn
  Description

  Ó Ríordáin (1935, 173-4) records a cairn with cist burials which was destroyed here about 1925. It is said to have been c. 12m in diameter and c. 2m in maximum height and was surrounded by rough, dry-stone walling and outside of this a flat-bottomed fosse, little more than 1m in depth and width. There may have been as many as 25 cists and the burials were mostly inhumations although some cremations were recognised. A number of pottery vessels were found but only one, a foodvessel was preserved. A large number of quartz pebbles were noted among the cairn material.
