The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in pasture in a low-lying landscape. There is local information on a feature known as the 'Giant's Grave' and described as a megalithic structure which was removed during land reclamation in the 1980s (SMR file). No archaeological feature is visible at ground level and its exact location is not known.
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.
