What is recorded here

No. Of tradition, an invisible chamber may still hold its breath beneath the grass, waiting for a door that never opens.

Located on a SE-facing slope overlooking Carrickevy Lough (max. dims c. 450m NE-SW; c. 240m NW-SE), which is c. 100m to the SE. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. dima. 25.5m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by a steep-sided and round-topped earthen bank (at SW: Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.6m; max. ext. H 1.8m), which is reduced to a scarp (H 1m) SE-S, and an external fosse (Wth of base 2.3m generally to 7m at SW; D 0.25m). The original entrance is not identified. There is a local tradition of an underground tunnel, possibly a Man-made underground passage, in the same field. See the attached aerial view taken from the SW. 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
