Leacht in Inch (magunihy By., Brewsterfield Ed)

In level pasture, in the valley of the Flesk River. A subrectangular mound of stones (5.2m N-S; 4m E-W; H 0.62m) flanked by stone slabs. Four small pillar stones, which are positioned roughly at each corner, protrude above the surface of the mound. The pillar stone at the NE corner (H 0.77m; Wth 0.17m; T 0.17m) has a carving of a Latin cross (H 0.37m) with D-shaped terminals (KE076-011005-) on the upper half of its W face. Traces of curved lines and depressions are visible on the lichen-covered W face of the pillar stone (H 0.6m; Wth 0.55m; T 0.35m) near the NW corner. An unmarked slab (L 1.6m; 0.95m x 0.9m) lies prostrate on top of the mound. Loose stones lie along the perimeter.

Linked to Saint Gobnait, the site is associated with cures for eye ailments and general healing. The arrangement of stones and slabs may reflect early Christian ritual practices or pre-Christian traditions repurposed in a Christian context.
