What is recorded here

In low bogland to W of Lough Aderreen. According to Roberts (1988, Ch. 2, site 9) "Lough Adereen, scene of fairs which became bawdy....near the lake stood a cromlech that was displaced as an added discouragement to the local festivities." Area now inaccessible due to overgrowth and waterlogging.
