The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on any OS ed. Identified in 1955 by workmen quarrying for road-building material. Examined by Ó Ríordáin (1957, 53-9) in the same year. He found that the cairn was originally circular in plan (diam. c. 18m; H c. 2.5m) and had contained at least four cists, three of which had been, destroyed before he had a chance to record them (CV002-015002-). Ó Ríordáin discovered two inverted food vessels at the N end of the surviving cist and three other food vessels from what was believed to have been the largest of the destroyed cists. Not visible at ground level.
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.
