The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in Garfiny Lough. Davies (NMI Survey 1941) described a roughly triangular cairn (H 1m; dims. 13.7m x 9m) located at the end of a morainic ridge, now adjoining the land. Black clay containing fragments of burnt bone were identified on the cairn and three piles projecting from the water on its W side.
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.
