What is recorded here

One chamber held a child, the other an adult. The druid may have placed them together, or the land may have swallowed a family lost in fever. Either way the cairn kept what the storm wanted to take.

Not marked on any OS ed. An earlier report (NMI 1938) recorded a cairn known as 'The Druid's Cairn' in this townland. During ploughing at the edge of the cairn, two cists containing human bones were uncovered (CV021-075002-). Not located. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

A Bronze Age cairn; its significance lies in the discovery of human remains in cists, indicating burial practices and possible ritual use in the area.
