What is recorded here

Described by O'Kelly (1944, 19) as following; 'This is very much defaced, only one of the side stones of the chamber remaining. Resting on it is, another stone which may have been a cap-stone, but this even is not certain, for it was removed by the land-owner who bored a hole in it near one end and used it as a gate-post. It was later returned to the site due to superstitious fears. About 3' [0.9m] to the E. of these there is a third stone which is partly embedded in a modern fence. It is not possible to say whether this is a collapsed end-, side-, or cap-stone.'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 06 August 2019
