The National Monuments Service's description
Sited on a low ridge. This consists of an irregularly shaped boulder, 1.7m by 1.4m by 0.85m thick, supported on four blocks of stone. It is incorporated in and partly obscured by a stone field fence. A stone under the N side of the boulder is not set and the status of three others, one to the W and two to the S is unclear. The nature of the site remains to be determined. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, xxii, 'at Caskeanduff')
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.
