Also known as: Eightercua, Íochtar Cua, Steinreihe von Eightercua

Eightercua is thought to originate from around 1700 BC, and by tradition is the burial place of Scéine, wife of the leader of the Milesian invaders, Amergin mac Míled [1]. The site features four tall slabs from 1.8 to 3 meters high running east and west [1]. From one stone a slab runs south and could be part of a tomb chamber or cist set in an oval cairn 1 meter high [1].
