What is recorded here

Giant's Grave at Commons is a rare double court tomb where two stone chambers face opposite directions across a gentle Leitrim rise. The southeast gallery stretches seven metres into two rooms while the shorter northwest gallery holds one chamber beneath surviving upright stones. Neolithic people built this unusual mirror image around 4000 to 2500 BC, suggesting death and ceremony moved through both ends rather than one hidden entrance.
Giant's Grave is recorded as a archaeological place in County Leitrim. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
