What is recorded here

Located at the E edge of an area of exposed karst (dims c. 200m N-S; c. 130m E-W) that is fairly flat and is on a broad plateau which slopes generally down to the SE. This is a long cairn (dims 41m N-S; Wth 7.3m at S to 11.5m at N; max. H 1m) with drystone wall revetting visible in places. Originally it may have been four separate cairns, indicated by circular concentrations of stone within the cairn. There is a possible chamber (dims c. 2m x 1.3m) at the N end, but there are no distinctive features. It may be a court tomb. 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
