Recorded monuments

• CV022-016001 Souterrain
  Description

  Marked 'Giant's Grave' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. Shown situated within a tree plantation on OS 1913 ed. An earlier report (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 139, No. 11) recorded that the site was then represented by a trench (L 8m; Wth 3m; D 1m) which has since been infilled. The nature of the site is uncertain, but local information would suggest it may have been a souterrain. Not visible at ground level. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
