What is recorded here

Listed in the SMR (1989) as an unlocated monument with the classification 'Sweathouse'. Not included in the RMP (1995). Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Adjacent to a stream, c. 70m NNW of Lough Nasool. There are no visible remains of the sweathouse. Its location was given by M. A.Timoney (pers. comm.). This is probably post-1700 AD in date.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
