What is recorded here

Carrownoona holds a vanished chamber beneath its grassy floor, splitting the ancient ring in two. The Duff River still flows a hundred metres east, witnessing the hidden passage that human hands carved before memory faded. What the chamber guarded, who built it, and why they sealed it remain lost, but the earth kept the shape of their choice.

Just E of the summit of a N-S ridge on the floor of Glenade valley with the S-N Duff River c. 100m to the E. Overgrown circular area (diam. 27m) defined by a scarp (H 0.8m at SW (upslope) to 1.4m at NE) with slight traces of an outer fosse, and an external bank (Wth 2.5m; H 0.2m) SE-W-NW. Man-made underground passage (LE003-00902-) is in the interior and the monument is bisected by a NE-SW field wall. 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
