What is recorded here

Situated in the deep valley of a N-S stream on the E bank and c, 50m N of its confluence with another N-S stream. It is marked only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map c. 100m from two abandoned houses to the W and c. 120m from an abandoned house to the N. No feature is visible at ground level in a coniferous forest. 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
