What is recorded here

Listed as 'Megalithic structure, possible' in the RMP (1996). Spellissy (1987, 102) refers to a 'slabbed tomb-like structure' close to a cairn (CL002-001-). There are several turf stands quite close to that cairn, those nearest being 12m N at ITM 516543, 710596 and 10m W at ITM 516524, 710585 with many more scattered across the hilltop. It is most likely that he was referring to one of these. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 9 December 2020

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
