• SL007-038 Cist
  Description

  In lowlying ground. Uncovered in 1992 during agricultural works and excavated in the same year by Cahill on behalf of the National Museum of Ireland. Approximately rectangular short cist (dims. 0.87m NW-SE; 0.4m NE-SW; D 0.45m) whose sides are defined principally by five slabs set on edge. The NW, SW and SE sides each comprised a single slab and the NE two. The floor was partially paved with slabs. The capstone, which had removed during agricultural works resulting in the discovery of the monument, was a large subrectangular slab (dims. 1.3m x 1.2m; D 0.1m). The sides of the pit, which had been dug to house the cist, appear to have been lined with clay. The cremated remains of a sub-adult, aged 14 to 16 (1992:15.1) within a damaged inverted collared urn (1992:13) were uncovered. During post-excavation work a bone toggle and cowrie shells were identified within the cremation. The cremation yielded a date of 1260–930 BC while a sample of charcoal was dated to 1947–1751 BC. Brindley (2007, 137) believed the former date is erroneous and noted that the urn dates to the period 1800-c.1700 BC. (Cahill and Sikora, Vol. 1, 435-449). Compiled by: Patrick F.

• SL007-040001 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a lawn in the rear garden of a dwelling. Four upright and three prostrate stones appear to represent the last vestiges of a megalithic tomb. The stone to the S is 0.7m long, 0.5m thick and 1.15m high. A pair of stones, probably originally one stone, stand 2.2m to the N of this. The taller stone is 0.95m long, 0.25m thick and 0.90m high and at its N base is a smaller piece, 0.3m long by 0.18m thick and 0.45m high. Beside these to the N is a prostrate stone, 1.25m long by 0.9m wide and 0.4m thick. It is possible that this represents part of the previous stone that has been broken off. Some 0.4m W of this slab is another upright, 1.05m long, 0.55m thick and 0.8m high. A prostrate slab (0.95m by 0.80m and 0.2m thick) lies c. 3.8m to the NNW. Another prostrate slab (1.5m by 0.85m and at least 0.22m thick) lies 1.2m E of the S upright. The relationship of these to the structure is unclear and they clearly are displaced. Inasmuch as the garden has been landscaped there is no evidence of any surviving mound around the structure. The monument appears to be the last vestiges of a megalithic tomb, though in view of the scantiness of the remains some caution is necessary. The orientation of the three principal uprights would support interpretation as the remains of a gallery aligned E-W with possible affinities to those of the wedge-tomb class. However, elucidation of the full design of the monument must await excavation. Immediately E of the monument is a ring-barrow (SL007-040002-) the outline of which is visible as slight circular undulations (diam. 6.5-7m) in the ground surface.

• SL007-040002 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  Situated on a lawn in the rear garden of a dwelling. The ring-barrow stands immediately E of the remains of a megalithic tomb (SL007-040001-). It measures c. 6.5-7m in diameter. The central mound (diam. c. 3m) and outer-bank (Wth 1-1.2m) are visible as a slight rise (0.1-0.15m) above the surface of the lawn. The outer element of the bank at W fades into a slight rise in ground surface where it borders the remains of the megalithic tomb.

• SL007-044 Anomalous stone group
  Description

  Situated on a gentle N-facing slope in reclaimed pasture. Standing stone, aligned NW-SW (L 0.80m, 0.55m %; H 0.95m) with large block (0.90m x 0.80m; H 0.70m) beside it at NW. The latter stone does not appear to be set and its base is discernible on SW side. The exact nature of this monument is unclear and the possibility that it could represent the last remnants of a megalithic tomb cannot be ruled out.
