  Description

  On N-facing hillslope, under alders, c. 50m S of a stream which forms the td. boundary. Known locally as An Chill Bheag or Reilig na bPáistí, it consists of a roughly rectangular area (L 17m, Wth 11.5m) bounded on S and W by modern field walls, on N by a scarp, but unenclosed elsewhere. Numerous small set stones are visible, indicating graves oriented E-W, with a particular concentration at SW. One small wooden cross was also present.
