What is recorded here

Located just off the crest of a S-facing slope. A roughly trapezoidal grass-covered mound (L 31m; Wth 11.5m) with some scrub is aligned NE-SW. A series of displaced flags at the NE end may represent the shallow court. Behind these are two subsidiary chambers opening to the NW and another opening to the SE. There are a number of set stones which appear to represent other chambers further SW, although no main gallery is evident. The surviving chambers are comparable to court-tomb subsidiary chambers. 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. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 9 May 2018
