What is recorded here

Located in scrub on a shelf at the N end of the E shore of Lough Rinn. A structure described as a ‘Giants Grave’ is depicted at the N end of an Avenue only on an estate map (Wogan 1750, 22). The avenue is on a N-S ridge, which at the N end merges into a drumlin. There is no other information, and no antiquity is visible at ground level in the vicinity of a road junction, although a precise location cannot be provided. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 7 January 2020
