What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of the steep S and SE-facing slope of Leean Mountain. This is a subcircular cairn (dims 7.5m N-S; 6.5m E-W; H 0.5m) with a large central cist (dims 2.6m N-S; 2.4m E-W) whose side-stones have largely fallen inwards, but no roof-stones are present. 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
