What is recorded here

Giant's Grave at Commons, Co. Leitrim is a Neolithic double court tomb, rare in having two ritual entrances facing opposite directions, built roughly 4000 to 2500 BC. Its southeast gallery extends about seven metres through two chambers while the shorter northwest gallery holds one chamber, and several original court stones still stand there. The mound measures about 26 by 20 metres, remains in good repair, and sits on a slight rise above ordinary pasture, giving it a quiet visibility that invites imagination about the gatherings held at either end.
Giant's Grave is recorded as a archaeological place in County Cavan. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
