It is recorded in 1849-51 that, 'a sepulchral chamber was reported to have been discovered some years since by a man named Bradley on his farm at Coan-West in the parish of Dysert. It consisted of a large sepulchral chamber covered by a massive stone six feet [c. 1.8m] long, and contained an earthen vessel filled with burned human bones. But he was sorry to learn that this urn, not having any value in the finder's eyes, had been destroyed' (Anon. 1849-51, 29). There is no local recollection of this monument and its precise location within the townland is unknown.
