Recorded by Wakeman (1879, 183-200) as a circular 'tumulus' of which the 'circumference was twenty-seven yards; the height, as measured by railway authorities, fifteen feet and a-half.' He described it as a natural mound upon which was laid a stratum of soil covered by a layer of stones. Two stone-lined cists (CV002-030002-) containing artifacts were found within the mound. Not located. (Lowry-Corry and Richardon 1937, 160-1)
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.

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.
