First documented on the 1847-9 Ordnance Survey map, this unclassified megalithic monument was originally positioned about 40 metres northwest of its later recorded location. Today, no visible traces remain at either site, but historical accounts provide fascinating glimpses into what once stood here.

When antiquarian Thomas Fagan visited the site in 1847, he encountered what locals called the ruins of a ‘Giant’s Grave’; three massive prostrate stones that had clearly once formed part of a significant structure. These substantial slabs averaged nearly 3 metres in length, ranged from 1.2 to 2.15 metres in width, and were about 45 centimetres thick. According to local memory, these stones had remained standing until approximately 1830, when they were toppled by fortune seekers convinced that treasure lay beneath. Their excavations reportedly uncovered human bones, suggesting this was indeed an ancient burial site, though any other archaeological materials were either overlooked or lost in the scramble for imagined riches.

The monument’s shifting position on historical maps adds another layer of mystery to its story. The discrepancy between the 1847-9 and 1907 Ordnance Survey editions suggests either cartographic error or possible confusion about which stones constituted the original monument. Despite being catalogued in the Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland and recorded in the Sites and Monuments Record, the tomb remains unclassified due to the lack of surviving structural evidence, leaving its exact type and original form to speculation.
