Recorded in 1836 as 'a grave called by the inhabitants, the Giant's Grave; it is a large stone 9 feet 10 inches [ 3m] long by 4 feet 5 inches [1.32m] wide, standing on a pedestal 2 feet [0.6m] high' (OSNB, vol. 1, 480). This feature, whatever its true nature, has not been located.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).

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.
