What is recorded here

Situated on the N bank of a small W-E stream and c. 10m S of an abandoned farmhouse. A sweathouse is marked only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A small hollow (diam. c. 2m) is visible in the bank of the stream, in an area that is now forested (Bing 2013). 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
