What is recorded here

Located in a coniferous forest on Inchiquin or Rabbit Island in Lough Bofin on the River Shannon, which is now joined to the mainland at N. A ‘mound’ is depicted only on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and it is described as ‘a mound of stones gathered by workmen …’ (OS Name Book No. 83). This is a circular stone mound (diam. 11.5m; H 1.25m) composed of large boulders (dims up to 1m), but no structural features are visible. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 6 January 2020
