The National Monuments Service's description
Recorded in 1836 as 'a grave called by the inhabitants, the Giant's Grave; it is a large stone 9 feet 10 inches [ 3m] long by 4 feet 5 inches [1.32m] wide, standing on a pedestal 2 feet [0.6m] high' (OSNB, vol. 1, 480). This feature, whatever its true nature, has not been located.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
