An earlier report (NMI1938) recorded two cists containing human bones which were revealed at the edge of a cairn (CV021-075001-) during ploughing. Both were aligned NW-SE. The first (dims; 2.75m x 1m) was 'protected by three large stones, besides one huge upright at the end. There was also an inner lining of flagstones about c. 0.45m x 0.15m standing upright. At the NW of the second, (dims. 3.35m x 1.37m) there was 'a huge stone of about ten cwt weight and close to sit another of the same weight protecting the N and E sides'. Not located.
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.
