Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Three large irregularly shaped boulders set close together. The largest of these contains eleven bullauns, some of which are apparently natural depressions, while the other two boulders contain one and four basins respectively. Rounded stones have been placed into each bullaun, probably in relatively recent times. These are known locally as 'St Brigid's Stones' and were formerly used as cursing stones (local information). (Wakeman 1875, 460; Wood-Martin 1902, 60; Lowry-Corry 1939, 103-4; Richardson and Lowry-Corry 1940, 170; Price 1959, 166; Killanin & Duignan 1989, 78; Harbison 1991, 226-7)
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.
