The National Monuments Service's description
According to Price (1934, 50) in Money Upper townland, ‘at a place called Rockview, near the boundary of Moylisha, there are the remains of a cairn of stones, which contained a chamber, said to have been built of three flags with another on top, and a flat flag beneath, with what the farmer called “red bog clay” on it. Some of the stones can still be seed in the field, and the stones of the chamber are said not to have been disturbed’. Killanin and Duignan (1962, 417) described it as ‘a chambered cairn (wrecked)’. The precise location of this monument is unknown.
