The precise location of a cist located on the W boundary of a bog known locally as Mona Gap, in the townland of Ballydaheen has not been identified. Cist described by J. F. Lynch (1913, 20) as follows: ‘The deep swamp east of Mr Leahy’s house is called Mona Gap.Two little black pillar stones [LI032-165002-/165003-] stand a little apart on its western border, and divide two baronies, two parishes, and two townlands. Immediately in a line with these, towards the south, the late Mr Joseph Carroll discovered a stone coffin [LI032-165001-], but covered it up without examination’.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LI032-165001
