Not marked on any OS ed. Davies (ITA Survey 1945) recorded a 'rather rough souterrain' at this location. He described it as being 'walled with boulders' and the roof constructed of rough slabs. The site is now inaccessible. Locally it is believed that the 'cave' was used as a hiding place for the Catholic clergy during Penal times. Situated on the summit of a steep hill in rough terrain. A Mass Rock lies c. 90m to SE.
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.
