Named 'Bishop's Grave' on the 1914 OS 6-inch map and indicated as a small oval feature (L c. 10m E-W; Wth c. 5m). There are no visible remains of this grave. Praying stones (SL035-067005-) have been found on a stone bench surrounding a tree at this location; a portion of an 18th-century table-tomb or chest-tomb was also noted here (pers. comm. M. B. Timoney).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
