Calderagh

Burial ground

What is recorded here

In reclaimed pasture in a low-lying position close to the Bonet River. Marked 'Calderagh' and depicted faintly as a small rectangular enclosure only on the latest edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is an area where buried timbers, thought to be coffins, were recovered c. 1880 (OSFM). It is not visible at ground level. 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 Neolithic passage tomb; likely dates to the Early to Middle Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its potential to contribute to understanding burial practices and settlement patterns in the Bonet River region during the prehistoric period.
