What is recorded here

Twenty-three metres of grass and forgotten stone on the Tullyskeherny plateau, with a shallow quarry cut through its centre like a wound that never bled. People may have stood there watching the Bonet valley or dropped markers into the hollow, but the earth has taken back every name and purpose. What remains is shape without meaning, a broad disc waiting for someone to remember why it was made.

Situated on a local prominence at the SW edge of the Tullyskeherny plateau, overlooking the Bonet river valley to the W. Grass-covered cairn (diam. of base 23m N-S; 21.3m E-W; H 1.5-2.2m) with a quarry on top (diam. 14m N-S; 12m E-W; max. D 1m). There are no visible structural features. 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008

A grass-covered cairn, likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, representing a local funerary or ritual monument; its significance remains largely unexplored due to limited recorded context.
