What is recorded here
Located in the NE corner of the graveyard (GA094-072003-) within the early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA094-072002-) at Roscam. This possible leacht (3.65m N-S; 2.8m E-W; max. H 1.1m) is rectangular in plan and is defined by large boulders on all sides. The W and N sides are best preserved where regularly coursed massive cyclopean-like boulders are visible; one boulder on the W side is 1.2m long and 0.45m high. The E and S sides are in a more collapsed state and large boulders from both sides are strewn about on the ground immediately to the E and S. The interior is also strewn with boulders.
