What is recorded here

Situated on a steep E-facing slope with limestone outcrop and overlooking Lough Glenade. An oval cairn (dims c. 12m NW-SE; c. 10m NE-SW; H 0.6m) contains a two-chambered gallery (dims 6.67m NW-SE; 2.4m NE-SW) divided by jambstones. The entrance (Wth 0.6m), flanked by limestone uprights, leads to a semicircular orthostatic court (dims 5.85m NE-SW; 1.4m NW-SE) at the SE end of the cairn. 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
