What is recorded here

Marianne, breathless and red-nosed, pointed at the white shape behind the trees. We ran until our lungs burned, then stood before a tall stone building with no doors, no windows and no roof. The children called it the House of Forgetting because everyone who entered stopped remembering why they had come. Marianne touched the smooth wall. It felt warm, like skin in sunlight. She stepped inside without looking back. I followed her, certain the world would not allow me to be left behind.

Situated on a slight rise on the floor of Glencar valley, with a W-E section of the Shanvaus River c. 110m to the NNE. The N16 Manorhamilton to Sligo road is just to the S. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. 20.5m NE-SW) defined by a round-topped, steep-sided earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.65m) and an intermittently visible outer fosse (Wth 2-3m; max. D 0.2m). There is an entrance (Wth 3m), possibly original, at N. 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
