In the 1840s a 'Cavern' in a rock at the summit of a high mountain was recorded in the W end of the townland (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 3, 43). It was described as '70 links [14.08m] in length, 30 links [6.01m] high and 22 [4.42m] broad; it derives its name from a man of the name of Shera, who formerly lived in it' (ibid.). Its precise location is not known and it is possible that it is in that part of the townland on OS 6-inch map 76.

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.
