What is recorded here

Sited close to the base of a slope in rolling country. The tomb is largely concealed in a subcircular mound, 14m across, 0.5m high at the N and 2m at the downslope southern side. A number of set stones visible at the top of the mound indicate a gallery at least 3.3m long, aligned ENE-WSW. Two stones, 1.1m apart and 0.6m high, mark its WSW end. Only the tops of four other stones, two at each side are visible. North of the presumed gallery there is a possible line of outer-walling. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 141 Cv. 43) 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
