The National Monuments Service's description
Ó Ríordáin (1957, 53-9) discovered at least four cists within Termon cairn (157), three of which had been destroyed before he had a chance to record them. However, three food vessels were recovered from what was apparently the largest of the destroyed cists. These contained flecks of cremated bone. The fourth was subrectangular in plan (dims. 0.68m N-S; 0.43m E-W) and contained two inverted food vessels covering cremated remains. 'Further scraps of cremated bone were later found at the S end of the cist, some of them lying in the space between the S end slab and the floor slab'. 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.
