Megalithic structure

What is recorded here

Graves (1850-1, 131) records that 'A short time since there existed on the lands of the widow Follis, in the townland of Jerpoint-hill, another remain of this nature [i.e. similar to the destroyed tomb in the townland of Derrynahinch], known as Leaba Fianna, "the Fiann's or Giant's Bed." This . . . has lately been obliterated'. There is no surviving local tradition of this monument and its precise location within the townland is unknown.
