Stone circle

Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Situated on the NNW shoulder of a low rise. All that remains of the site is a heap of small stones containing one large partly buried recumbent stone (H 0.9m; dims 2.25m x 0.7m) with two smaller heaps of small stones 11.3m to SSE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this stone circle may have had ceremonial or astronomical significance. The presence of a recumbent stone suggests a megalithic tradition similar to other Atlantic seaboard sites, though local folklore or specific use remains undocumented.
