What is recorded here

Giants Grave is a cairn, clearance cairn in Keadew West, County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits towards the top of the west-facing slope of a drumlin and appeared only on the 1914 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Two grass-covered heaps of loose stones once stood there, but one measuring 3 metres by 1.5 metres survives today. The site is a clearance cairn rather than an antiquity.

Portal dolmen; likely dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its location on a drumlin and simple construction suggest a regional megalithic tradition, though its wider archaeological context remains poorly documented.
