The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on any OS ed. Known locally as 'St. Brigid's House' and 'The Queen's Bed'. Approximately circular area (int. diam. c. 12m) enclosed by a low drystone wall. The interior has been lowered below that of the surrounding ground level. Just inside the wall at S are two opposed slabs. Both Davies (1939, 98) and Richardson (Richardson and Lowry-Corry 1940, 170) were of the opinion that the site represented the remains of a megalithic tomb but there is no evidence to suggest that this is in fact the case. Thickly overgrown with vegetation.
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.
