The site of two cists with standing stone markers which were excavated and found to contain cremations and inhumations. They were first recorded in the field known as Magher y Clagh in 1888.  The field name reflects the presence of the largest standing stone, reputed to be 5 metres long overall, although only about half this shows above ground level. 


The site was first excavated by Crellin circa 1894. Skillan rediscovered these cists and they were re-excavated by Garrad in 1986. Radio-carbon dated the inhumation to 3530 + 50 bp (1820-1890 BC). 


On excavation, one cist, about 25 metres from the large stone, was found to contain a small food vessel 9.5 centimetres high (Manx Museum, Accession No. 1954-0995) and a few scraps of cremated human bone. The second cist was 150 metres west-southwest of the standing stone and contained an extended inhumation burial.  


In addition, a cremation burial (PRN1388.20) contained in a small pot with incised decoration was found between the surviving standing stone and the cist nearest it. This is originally thought likely to have been covered with the same barrow mound as the large cist.
