What is recorded here

Indicated marks a circular burial ground on a low Cavan hill, where rough boulders still outline the edge of the dead. Survey lines have pointed to the same place for centuries, yet the stones give no human shape back. The tradition insists the ground is ancient, while the mountain keeps its own secret.

Indicated on all OS eds. Situated on a low hill in rough mountainous terrain. At the location indicated, there is an approximately circular area (int. diam. c. 18m) defined by a series of boulders, which appears to be an entirely natural feature. However, there is a tradition of an ancient burial ground on the hill (local information). 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
