Recorded monuments

• CV021-001 Megalithic structure
  Description

  The OS 25-inch Name Book of 1908 refers to a small mound here. According to the OS Memoirs for County Cavan there was a 'giant's grave' of the 'common oblong form' measuring 40 links (c. 8m) long and 12 links (c. 2.5m) in maximum width at this place in the 1850s. There is no trace of it now. This may have been a megalithic tomb. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 138, No. 8; OS Memoir, Laragh parish, County Cavan) 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

• CV021-002 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  Situated on sloping ground 3km NE of Laragh village. A gallery some 6m long, aligned W-E, is flanked by straight-sided outer-walling. There are two facade-stones to the N of the gallery entrance and one to the S. A lone orthostat beyond the E end of the gallery may be an outer wall stone. The structure is incorporated in a D-shaped cairn 16.5m long, 13m wide and 1.5m high. A tall septal-stone divides the gallery into a short portico and main chamber. The chamber is hidden in the cairn beneath two large slabs, perhaps originally a single roofstone. Two stones in line with the gallery backstone are of uncertain function. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 125-6, No. 25) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).
