I'm really not sure about this one, but if the other Burren monument is actually a boulder burial then this could be, too.

The large eratic stone that once stood on the limestone plynth has been tipped back to reveal a hollowed out section beneath. One side and one end of this appear to have been blocked off by upright slabs, giving a cist-like appearance. There are two interesting round boulders standing just 3m from the site.
