Leacht

What is recorded here

Built against the exterior face of the enclosing wall on the N side of an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL001-001001-), known as The Cashel. This is a large tabular cairn or leacht appended on the north face of the Cashel. In contrast to the smaller leachta (SL001-001-001013-; SL001-001019-; SL001-001-021-) within the Cashel, this is built with small, medium and large rounded and angular rubble, rather than well-laid courses of flat stone. The leacht measures 3.1 m long, 2.1 m wide and is 1 m high. The above description is derived from the results of a survey of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-1999 and published in: Jerry O’Sullivan and Tomás Ó Carragáin 2008 Inishmurrary. Monks and pilgrims in an Atlantic landscape. Volume 1: Archaeological Survey and Excavations 1997-2000. Cork. The Collins Press. Date of upload: 16 January 2018
