Sited on the E shoulder of a ridge in pasture. This is an irregular mound of stones, 10m by 8m and 1.5m high at its northern end, which is now largely grass-grown. Bedrock protrudes above its lower southern end. Considerable deposits of field- clearance stones have been dumped here. There is no trace of any structural feature but according to an account in the OS 25-inch Name Book of 1908 the 'stones of this antiquity' were removed some eighteen years earlier. The nature of the site is uncertain. (OS Name Book, County Cavan, Sheet 39, 1908)
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.
