Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Situated on the border between counties Cavan and Fermanagh. Small, low, circular cairn of stones (diam. c. 15m; H 0.6m). Rising from the cairn are four piles of stones, two of which are narrow, steep-sided and tapering to a point (Wth 0.6m; H 1.3m) and apparently constructed from original cairn material. The other two are lower, wider and less well defined. The authors of The Kingdom of Glan (Glangevlin Guild ICA 1983, 42) refer to the site as 'Lacht an Phelim' from Phelim O'Dolan who was an ancient proprietor of Gleann Gaibhle, and stated that 'it was erected some centuries ago'.
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.
