The summit of this hill in the townland of Keel East has several features that look like they could be cist burials. There are prostrate slabs and others laying upright along their edges. Some of these uprights lie parallel with or perpendicular to other slabs. Unfortunately I could not find any archaeological information about this location and therefore I can't say for sure if these are cists.
There is another stone structure at the summit. It is roughly circular with some stone walling intact. My guess is that this is the remains of a booley hut.
