What is recorded here

Located on a broad E-W spur and incorporated in a kink of a NW-SE field bank on the SW side. A chamber (L 2m; Wth 1m), opening to the NNW, is represented by two portal stones, two side stones on either side, and a back stone. The roof stone is displaced and leaning against one of the E side-stones. It is listed as a portal tomb (Ó Nualláin 1983, 100), and is a nearly perfect example of one. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 July 2007
