What is recorded here

Sited on a flat hilltop and 7m SE of the perimeter of a round cairn (CV016-015001-). Between two set stones, 2.7m apart, and leaning against one of them is a great block of stone. The set stone to the SW measures 0.8m by 0.6m by 1.1m high and the other 1m by 0.5m by 0.8m high. The intervening block, now split, leans against the latter. It measures 2.1m by 1.5m by 1.1m in size. Two prostrate slabs, the larger 1m in maximum dimension, lie at the E end of the structure. A slight grassy mound around the remains may not be original. The nature of the monument is not now clear. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
