The National Monuments Service's description
Two depressions which probably represent a collapsed souterrain. The first is rectangular (dims 4m N-S; 2.5m E-W), the second sub-rectangular (dims. 4.5m NW-SE; 1.5m NE-SW). Situated c. 17m from the wall enclosing Raffony graveyard (CV039-071001-). Both depressions partially cut the bank which formed part of the original perimeter of the earlier ecclesiastical foundation.
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.
