No surface traces of the remaining two sites (KD036-012---- and KD036-012----) are now visible, but Fitzgerald in his description of the area, mentions that they were levelled before O'Connell's monster meeting of 1843 (JKAS 1891-95, 379-389), during which operation a cist was discovered (KD036-012001-).
