The find is noted only as a pit-burial containing cremated remains, discovered roughly nine metres from a separate cist, which is a small stone-lined grave box of the kind commonly used during the Bronze Age. That proximity is suggestive, hinting at a cluster of mortuary activity on this hillside, but the record goes no further than the bare coordinates of the discovery.

The sole published reference is a footnote in Seán P. Ó Ríordáin's 1972 work, where the burial appears as note 8 on page 238, without elaboration. Ó Ríordáin was one of the most significant Irish archaeologists of the twentieth century, best known for his excavations at Lough Gur in Limerick, and a footnote in one of his texts carries a certain weight even when it offers little. The absence of further detail almost certainly reflects how the find was encountered rather than any carelessness on his part; many cremation burials across Ireland came to light incidentally, during agricultural work or turf-cutting, before systematic excavation was standard practice. Whether the pit and the nearby cist were contemporary, or represent different episodes of burial separated by generations, remains unknown.
