Ballachrink Burial Cist

Archaeology

Evidence of a Bronze Age cremation cemetery was found on the site of an early medieval keeill or chapel (PRN 0314.00) excavated by P.M.C. Kermode, circa 1909.  


On the south side of Kermode's excavations a small, well-formed cist was found, and in the northwest and northeast areas were further cists with ashes and clay, apparently crushed and dissolved pottery. It appeared certain that the keeill had been erected on the site of a Bronze Age burial place as at Ballingan.
