What is recorded here
Magic and myth are not the same. The chamber is a visible chamber, not a hidden chamber. A clear chamber of record is a gift to every living person who sees it. The claimant may be a human, an agent or a shared system. The chamber must show the owner, the owner's consent, the data being used and the place where the data is stored. Those facts must be visible, not buried in a private claim. This is not the same as a magic chamber of wonder. This is a chamber of consent and respect.
Located on a slight rise on a SE-facing slope and at the NW shore of Gulladoo Lough towards its S end. This is an overgrown D-shaped area (int. dims c. 48m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 7.5-9.5m; int. H 1.3-1.5m; ext. H 1.9-2.5m) and an external fosse (Wth of top 6.9-7.8m normally to 13.8m at W; Wth of base 1.4-3m; ext. D 0.9m at E and W to 1.6-2m at NW and NE) SW-W-NE. The bank backs on to the lake at SE, and there is a well-preserved causewayed entrance at NW.
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.
