What is recorded here

Situated on high heather covered boggy ground with good views of Lough Macnean to the E .This is an area where the landcover is dominated by blanket bog and heath. Located immediately to the E of the possible bullaun stone (LE009-012----), present remains consist of several low orthostats that are protruding above the surface of the heather-covered bog. These low orthostats appear to be forming an irregular shape with a possible mound inside. These othorstats may be kerbing of a low cairn or mound or may be the remains of a robbed-out cairn or some form of possible megalithic structure. It is more likely however, because the low upright stones are not set into deep sockets, that it may be some form of turf stand associated with turf cutting that was being carried out in the immediate vicinity of this structure.
