What is recorded here

Situated on the NW bank of a SW-NE stream. It is described as a 'Vapour Bath' on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map, but there are no houses in the vicinity. A trapezoidal cairn (dims 4.65-5m E-W; 2m N-S at W to 5m at E; H 1-2m) has collapsed on a circular chamber, but the entrance to the chamber is visible at S. 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
