In 1888 a burial cist containing an extended skeleton, alongside which was a food vessel.  The cist was found 150 metres southwest of a large standing stone.  The stone stands 2.5 metres high by 1.5 metres wide at the base and 1.2 metres wide at a height of 0.5 metres with an average thickness of 0.5 metres. It leans slightly to the southeast.


Nearby, on the top of a large, apparently natural mound, is a prostrate stone slab orientated east-west which may be a burial cist. The stone measures 1.0 metre by 0.6 metres by 0.1 metres with minor depressions around the sides perhaps indicating subsidence. It is partly grass covered.


The site was first excavated by Miss A.M. Crellin circa 1894 and re-excavated by Dr Larch S. Garrad in 1986.


The food vessel was donated to the Manx Museum by Bishop Bardsley (Accession No.1954-0995)
