What is recorded here
Located towards the top of the steep W-facing slope of Sheebeg, just above a shelf on that slope. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 35.5m ENE-WSW; 31m NNW-SSE) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2m at E to 5m at W; int. H 0.4m at E to 0.8m at W; ext. H 0.2m at E to 1m at W), but no facing-stones are visible. There is a possible entrance (Wth 0.5m) at SE, and the monument is truncated by an ENE-WSW field wall (L 20m) at S.
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.
