The cist, which was close to a site investigated by R. Ó Floinn in 1981 was of standard construction, consisting of a long slab on each side and a short one at either end. A large capstone was still in position when the site was first inspected. On its removal, the cist was found to contain a scattered inhumation probably representing no more than one individual. There were no articulated remains, pottery vessels or other artefacts. It seems likely that the burial was disturbed at some time in the past.
