The National Monuments Service's description
Located in pasture on the SE-facing slope of a drumlin and on the SW side of a NW-SE field bank. It is described as a ‘Grave’ in gothic lettering on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as the site of a Grave on the 1945 revision. It was described as two large upright stones (OS Name Book, No. 84, 241), but it is not visible now at ground level in pasture.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
