The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (int. diam. 25.2m) enclosed by a much-denuded drystone wall. Original entrance not recognisable. Projecting from the inner face of the wall at NE into the internal area is a rectangular structure (H 1.2m; int dims. 2.2m NE-SW; 1.25m NW-SE), the side walls of which are composed of large stone slabs. It is roofed by a massive irregularly shaped flat slab (L 2.6m; 1.4m x 0.3m). The SW of the structure is now open. Interpreted by Richardson (1940, 170-71) as the remains of a megalithic tomb.
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.
