A cist, which is a small stone-lined grave box, measuring roughly 78 centimetres long, 42 centimetres wide, and 46 centimetres deep, was uncovered in 1948. Inside lay two individuals arranged together: an adult male in the characteristic crouched position of Bronze Age inhumation burial, and an infant. Beside them sat a bowl food vessel, a type of ceramic container commonly placed with the dead during the early to middle Bronze Age, likely intended to accompany the deceased into the afterlife.

The cist itself was not simply set into the earth but placed within a larger pit measuring 1.3 metres by 1 metre and about 80 centimetres deep, the whole thing carefully packed around with field stones and clay. This kind of deliberate construction suggests a burial that mattered to those who made it, modest in scale but not in intention. The site sits in the valley of the River Bann, which runs northeast to southwest through this part of Wexford, with Laraheen Hill rising about 1.3 kilometres to the southeast. The discovery was documented by Hartnett and Prendergast in 1953, and later referenced by Waddell in 1990 as part of broader studies of Irish Bronze Age burial practice. The finding of a double burial, an adult and an infant together, is relatively unusual, and hints at a relationship between the two, though whether familial or otherwise cannot be determined from the physical evidence alone. There are also suggestions that other cists may have been disturbed or uncovered nearby at earlier points, raising the possibility that this was once a small burial ground rather than a single isolated grave.
