According to Fitzgerald (1899-1902, 64), in 1788, a rectangular cist (L c. 1.53m; Wth c. 1.22m) was discovered in a garden at Calverstown. It contained a crouched inhumation accompanied by a bowl foodvessel placed close to the head. The precise location of the burial is unknown.(Waddell 1970, 119) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 14 May 2013

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.
